As

let's enforce the loading screen on windows systems for now. Adds capability "nonwindows" so the preferences menu won't confuse windows users.

Release note:
Enforce darktable loading screen on windowes system to avoid darkroom refreshing issues

As
- we can't agree on removing the loading screen conf option (darktable-org#21402)
- there are issues on windows systems if loading screen is disabled (darktable-org#21128 darktable-org#21395 and more)

let's enforce the loading screen on windows systems for now.
Adds capability "nonwindows" so the preferences menu won't confuse windows users.

Back on this I suppose that #21128 may have fixed this, no?

Yes, i would have closed it too :-) I personally think the greyed loading screen is the better/nicer way to switch between images and we could simplify code but ... In code there are comments about some "flicker", i have not been able to reproduce this and it might be due to old gtk so we might be able to remove the workaround anyway.
