Is that option available in Windows 11?

I'm running Windows 11 (21H2), and it works on my PC.
(That's not to say it won't stop working, or be moved somewhere else, in a future update. Because "consistency" is a swear-word in Windows-land.)

That was a great comic! It reminded me of working for General Dynamics in the early '80s. It seemed as if every few months we had to pack our stuff for another reorg and physical move. I developed the theory that we had more employees than desks, so the company had to keep 10% of us in motion at all times.

Roger, me thinks we come from the same cut of cloth. True story... for you youngsters, enjoy. This is the way it was before the internet. 
So, it's early 1982 and as a first year EE graduate working my first job in a factory, I was bored out of my skull. Then all salaried people got a 5% paycut cause times were tough, etc. For all of you older CP'rs, we're going back to the heyday of EE Times where 30% of the back of the paper was nothing but job ads. Being bored out of my skull, I sent resumes to General Dynamics (Forth Worth, Texas) and Hughes Aircraft. Time passes...
One day in the mail I get a post card from GD - we've received your resume and are sending it to the appropriate groups, yada yada. In those days, we called them flush cards. And I forgot about it. A few weeks later, I received a call from Kathleen of Hughes Aircraft HR. Now I'm 22 sitting in a bullpen of desks, and I'm about to piss myself. She detects my discomfort, and says "I guess you can't really talk right now, can you?" So I called her back when I got home, expressed my interest. Within the week, it was clear they really wanted me to come to Tucson, Az for a plant trip. Thus began my wife's, "can I go to?" queries. Back then, I was terrified of saying, "you know, my wife needs to see the place too..." - thought they might pull the offer, etc. I promised my wife I would ask, but to be honest, I was terrified. Yeah, I was a noob.
Bear with me Roger... I'll get to the best part...
So, a couple of days later, I come home from work, and my wife is out front with a sh$$ eating grin on her face. Curious, I want to know what's going on. Turns out, Kathleen of Hughes HR had called home asking for me. Conversation:
Kathleen: "Hi, this is K from Hughes Aircraft. We're trying to get in touch with cg about a plant trip."
My love: "I'm sorry, he's not home from work, may I take a message?"
Kathleen: "Oh hi, this is Kathleen from Hughes Aircraft. We want to invite him out to Tucson for interviews and an area trip."
My love: "Oh that's nice, is there a number I could get, and I'm sure he'll call you back?"
Kathleen: "Well, actually, Hughes wants to invite you out as well considering this is a family decision. Would that be okay?"
An hour later - the grin. But I'm not done yet. So, we go out there, and with the exception of some exceptional conditions I'd still be there.
A week later, Hughes makes me an offer that just cannot be refused - 30% pay raise, full relo, and work I wanted to do. Wife was all on board.
Guess who called two days after I got the offer from Hughes? Yep GD. Wanted me for the flight control software in the F16.
When the guy called... he got his 30 seconds in and I interrupted him.
Me: "Dude, where were you 4 weeks ago?"
Him:"Crap, you already have an offer, don't you?"
Me: "Yep, and it's a good one."
Him:"Sh*t. Well I appreciate your time."
I've always wondered what would have happened had I gone that route, but we loved Tucson.

Good story! I enjoyed GD, but they had some practices that I disagreed with - that's why I quit. After a few years leading a team of engineers (even before I graduated) developing ATE for the missile factory, I got assigned a cool IRAD project. One year later, one of my former team got promoted to Sr. Engineer, while I was passed over. I was told that the reason was that the Sr. position requirements included supervision of others in the past 12 months. My previous supervision years there did not count. It took about a week to find a better job, and give them my notice. They counter-offered me a $1 million grant to continue the IRAD, but I passed.
I later learned from a former coworker there who was in management that there was a secret rating system, not shared with the employee, where I was rated as too valuable in that IRAD role to allow a change of position. That was high praise, but it was a chicken-s... practice that I still consider to be unethical.
Will Rogers never met me.

chicken s$it indeed. I never got far along enough in Hughes to run into that. I was in ATE as well for multiple programs.
when I was in school working part Time at ITT Satellite, they played off excellent people who "would have no problem finding another job." Hum... We're graybeards though I can't grow a beard. Maybe I'll start a consulting business titled, "WTH are you doing?"
