MM4, AIMP, WMP do not show anything
MM5 Show Track info without AA even there is a space for AA
Media player (Groove) show info and default player Image
Vivaldi, FF, Edge, Chrome show thumbnail of played Video as user pointed in forum topic

Steps To Reproduce1. Play track in MM that have AA
2. Use MediaKeys to Play/Pause or Vol+/- while MM is playing track with AA and OSD should show without AA

 In Windows 11, the Media Controls work a bit differently (though I suspect it uses the same API as Windows 10): by default, pressing Play/Pause OR adjusting the volume doesn't trigger the OSD. The OSD can be shown via the WINDOWS - A shortcut (or clicking the tray speaker icon). Unfortunately, the bug is more severe with Win11 as MediaMonkey doesn't display at all in the OSD (unlike YouTube Firefox videos, the default Windows video Player, or Foobar2k).

Note: tested with MMW 5.1 portable
