Is "ActiveX" control supported in Windows 10 and Windows 11?

Can't post as guest in "Ask for help" forum.

I guess it's a "yes" for Windows 10, but is it supported in Windows 11?

There is a Edge "IE mode" option in Windows 11, can anybody here confirm if "ActiveX" control works with Edge "IE mode" in Windows 11?

hasnt been released yet but the question is not if there is activex. activex is literally web accessible COM technology. for purposes of AHk its not even that strict. What i think is more to your point is if "shell.explorer" will still load a trident rendering engine into a gui as an implementation of SHDOCVW.dll I suspect it will even knowing the below. Embedded browser controls are still if not more important to desktop application devs than ever before.
