Hello, Thanks for the patch. It looks like it should work. I'll probably move it to Microsoft specific initialization code, probably in src/win32/compat/compat.cpp, and make it have a counter so that it turns it on for the first job that is running and off when the last job finishes that way it will work if multiple jobs run.
Thanks again for the tip and the code.
