Ensure software MIDI support existance for Windows

When I am using Hyper-V Gen2 VM, I found I can’t play MIDI.

I did some investigation and found the solution.

Windows 10 Version 1903 and later have fixed that issue. So, it’s not necessary to use this.

Solution

Save the following content to a .reg file and double click it to import.
