			== Can't close sponsorship window on Windows 11 ==

			We are still not sure why this happens, try pressing the ESC key. If that does not work, you can disable it manually through the registry under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Strawberry\Strawberry\MainWindow, add String Value do_not_show_sponsor_message with value true.

			There is a reg file here that disables it: https://files.strawberrymusicplayer.org/do_not_show_sponsor_message.reg

			This is a known issue on KDE 6, not a Strawberry bug. There is a bug report for it here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483488
			A workaround is to disable AutoCheckAccelerators in KDE.:

			kwriteconfig5 --file kdeglobals --group Development --key AutoCheckAccelerators "false"
