Research direction

Start with the attached Portable mpv log.txt and the handling of d3d11-exclusive-fs on Windows. Reproduce the right-click menu while fullscreen exclusivity is enabled, then compare playback with exclusivity disabled or after returning to windowed mode. Done means the menu opens without video freezing while audio continues.
