Research direction

The issue names only BPO 33923 and the Windows component; start by reading that record and locating the py.ini handling. The payload names no source file or test, so confirm the expected version-specific 32/64-bit behavior with maintainers before changing anything. Done means the requested setting is implemented and verified by relevant tests.
