v2.4.1_w11--beta1

same features as v2.4.1 from the main branch, but adapted to work on windows 11

& also has backwards compatibility with win10 (at least 20H1, build 19041)

• uses .NET 5 , and the latest VirtualDesktop.dll version 5.0.5

• it was tested on WIN-10 20H2 build 19042, & works the same as in the original v2.4.1

• HOWEVER, it was NOT tested on windows11 (hence, the 'beta' release)

• also: .net framework version 4.x needs to be installed so that the relatively old (but essential) package of GlobalHotKey.dll works
