Update coming in soon
Looks tied in with MPO and DXGI flip - seems like MPO might be extended to secondary displays.
An FPS cap at the desktop layer, without MPO all the layers are forced to run the same so it feels like they're all tied together.
This seems like the fix to AMD's higher power draw issues, because they can then render the compositor frames at a lower frame rate if needed - 30FPS video on display 2 wont need to be rendered at 120fps, just 30 and repeated like overlays to a game are with mpo.
DRR is an interesting one, where the display can render the desktop compositor (the wdm.exe desktop image) at the lower FPS of your VRR range - so if your display is 48 to 144 it'll drop to 48Hz at idle and not 144. THAT is going to be a game changer for idle power consumption with how common high refresh displays are these days. Clearly designed for laptops, but could be interesting if enabled on desktops too, with the right displays.
They could play it safe and just have the option set a 60FPS cap to the WDM layer in MPO, and save a bunch of power at the desktop without any risk of that screwing with displays that have shite VRR ranges, like VA monitors.

If they arent using VRR/FPS limitations to do this, the downside is that it will cause a flicker/black flash as the screen changes refresh rates. Not keen on that, and not something i think MS would be daft enough to do. An FPS limit to their desktop compositor would fit far better, as it only affects things they control and cant break third party programs or software at all.
Went to log in to my local account (admin account) only to be greeted with a denial stating my password had expired. Amusing.
Decided to try a new option in rufus this go round that saved me the trouble of setting up my user account on a full install to bare drive. Believe I'll now go back and reinstall a bare copy of W11 to save myself any other highly sought after features they have seen fit to opt me into. Funnily the second local account I set up already had the Never Expires box ticked. So it must've been how I installed my primary user. Easy enough fix once you are back into Windows, easy enough to make a new password since you've already entered the correct one. Amusing.
I ran into something that seemed like this, but it basically wanted me to reset the pin - the password worked fine still
I find it simple to use rufus and make one local offline account, then make a seperate online one rather than login with it.
If its a PC i dont keep anything important on, easy enough to set auto-login for that offline account.
