Brief description of tool

Microsoft has delivered update on all customer Windows 11 PCs (KB5074105) which brings new Windows MIDI Services (WMS). Also all the features of the services were enabled for all Windows 11 users. So I ask you to update windows-11-arm image to enable WMS.

I need WMS to test my library (DryWetMIDI) API on Windows ARM with WMS enabled.

Provide a basic test case to validate the tool's functionality.

1. Download archive https://github.com/microsoft/MIDI/releases/download/enablement-checker/midicheckservice_arm64.zip
2. Run midicheckservice.exe from the archive on windows-11-arm
3. You should see such output:
