Hi @Win32 and others! Can be implemented in extended kernel the function SetWaitableTimerEx and other similar stuff that rely on it? I read on some Microsoft forums that the mentioned procedure is used on some Office 365 installers and other Microsoft products, so maybe it might improve Office 2016+ in Vista, but not sure.
In my situation, I've been trying to run NVDA 2024.1 in Windows Vista. They migrated from python 3.7 to Python 3.11, however that shouldn't be a big deal since I've been running Python 3.9+ with the dlls provided here.

The deal is that running the installer or a portable copy of NVDA gives me the following error: The procedure entry point SetWaitableTimerEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll. Note that if you want to test, you need to spoof the sistem as Windows 8.1 or 10 to run it successfully.
