Autohotkey Script for starting Windows 11 Media Player in Mini Mode

I use the following script, but unfortunately it doesn't lead to the desired outcome:

#If WinExist("ahk_exe Microsoft.Media.Player.exe")
Send ^m

SetTimer_Example #2:

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

Persistent
SetTimer MediaPlayer_MiniMode, 500

MediaPlayer_MiniMode()
{
    if not WinExist("ahk_exe Microsoft.Media.Player.exe")
        return  ; do nothing
    ; Otherwise:
    SetTimer , 0  ; i.e. the timer turns itself off here.
    WinActivate "ahk_exe Microsoft.Media.Player.exe"
    If WinWaitActive("ahk_exe Microsoft.Media.Player.exe", , 5)
      Send "^m"
    WinWaitClose "ahk_exe Microsoft.Media.Player.exe"
    SetTimer , 500  ; turns the timer on
}

For AHK v1 see here.
