I read today that Windows 11 supports Linux programs with a GUI. https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/05/windows_11_in_detail/ about halfway down. Quote: <GUI Linux applications can be pinned to the taskbar and launched as if they were native Windows applications.> end quote.
I strongly suspect you need to install a special Linux distro first, but has anyone been able to try it with the AppImage of CinGG? I have no Windows anywhere.

First I have no knowledge or experience with this topic myselfe, but point on some related stuff. (The closest I tried and looked at several years ago, was Cygwin on Windows) ----------
Not so important, and possibly I had a look at Cygwin too, but what I meant was the predecessor "Windows Services for Unix" (SFU) Terje J. H
A practical guide to using AppImages on WSL2. https://blog.dvmm.dev/a-practical-guide-to-using-appimages-on-wsl2
Run Linux GUI apps on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (preview) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps ----
The above is not unlike the CLI installation in the Readme for Cin-GG. Additional, the appimage is "extracted", something I noticed another person mentioned made his Appimage program faster on his Linux. Possibly also AppImageLauncher works on the actual Linux distro on WSL2 ? -------
The base looks to be WSL2 - Windows Subsystem for Linux - a compatibility layer for running Linux binary executables natively on Windows systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux
Then one or more of the several Linux distributions can be installed from Microsoft store: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/search/shop/apps?q=wsl ---------
