Code:
local winList = getWindowList()
for i,k in pairs(winList) do
  print(i.." - "..k[1])
end


im trying to get all window caption, but some of the result is Default IME, like task manager

is this a bug or there is a way to solve this?

IME is the Input Method Editor (how Windows interprets your keystrokes on the keyboard and converts them into characters when you type). This is started when you install input support for regional languages.

Default IME is the currently selected IME for a window. Default IME has no window of its own and it always points to the window it is being used in.

Also, there is a trojan with the name "Default IME".

Have the knowledge to know of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, can be done using a legal tool from Microsoft (for Windows system), just download it from the provided link below. No need installation, just unpack and run it.

You must make it clear with mean 'open' because that possible to translate as Opened windows (active desktop), opened windows (on the taskbar), or opened windows on tasklist/task manager or process list.

I don't know in Lua, but must be easy using C# for windows caption on desktop (active windows) + taskbar windows (non active windows).
