GetMouseMovePointsEx in C++ program keeps returning -1 (no point in history?)

I have this simple Windows C++ program using WinAPI:

#include <windows.h>#include <windowsx.h> // GET_Y_LPARAM#include <string>#include <iostream>// clang++ -std=c++23 mouse.cc -o mouse.exe -luser32 -lgdi32// Handler for WM_MOUSEMOVEvoid OnMouseMove(HWND hwnd, int x, int y) {    MOUSEMOVEPOINT inputPoint;    ZeroMemory(&inputPoint, sizeof(inputPoint)) ;    inputPoint.x = x;// & 0x0000FFFF ;    inputPoint.y = y;// & 0x0000FFFF ;    //std::cerr << x << " " << y << std::endl;    //inputPoint.time = GetMessageTime(); // Use the time of the current message    //inputPoint.dwExtraInfo = GetMessageExtraInfo();    MOUSEMOVEPOINT points[64]; // Adjust size based on your needs    int pointsRetrieved = GetMouseMovePointsEx(sizeof(MOUSEMOVEPOINT), &inputPoint, points, 64, GMMP_USE_DISPLAY_POINTS);    if (pointsRetrieved > 0) {         std::cerr << pointsRetrieved << std::endl;    }    else {        //std::cerr << "Error retrieving mouse move points. Error: " << GetLastError() << std::endl;    }}LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);int MyWindowCreation(HINSTANCE hInstance) {    const char CLASS_NAME[] = "Sample Window Class";    WNDCLASS wc = {};    wc.lpfnWndProc = WindowProc;    wc.hInstance = hInstance;    wc.lpszClassName = CLASS_NAME;    RegisterClass(&wc);    HWND hwnd = CreateWindowEx(        0,        CLASS_NAME,"Mouse Position Display",        WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,        CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,        NULL,        NULL,        hInstance,        NULL    );    if (hwnd == NULL) {        return 0;    }    ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_SHOW);    UpdateWindow(hwnd);    MSG msg = {};    while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) {        TranslateMessage(&msg);        DispatchMessage(&msg);    }    return 0;}LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {    switch (uMsg) {        case WM_DESTROY:            PostQuitMessage(0);            return 0;        case WM_MOUSEMOVE: {            int xPos = GET_X_LPARAM(lParam);            int yPos = GET_Y_LPARAM(lParam);            OnMouseMove(hwnd, xPos, yPos);            std::string mousePosition = "X: " + std::to_string(xPos) +", Y: " + std::to_string(yPos);            SetWindowText(hwnd, mousePosition.c_str());            //OnMouseMove(hwnd, xPos, yPos);            break;        }    }    return DefWindowProc(hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);}int main() {    HINSTANCE hInstance = GetModuleHandle(NULL);    MyWindowCreation(hInstance);    return 0;}

That i put together to try to get mouse data using GetMouseMovePointsEx. I tried different things but I keep getting pointsRetrieved=-1 and the error message says that it can find the mouse data for that position in the buffer.

I looked at the MS documentation for this function. Sadly, the code they provided couldn't compile (it doesn't respect the function signature). At least this code compiles). I tried with & 0x0000FFFF and without setting x and y, but it makes no difference. The coordinates passed from WM_MOUSEMOVE are correct.

It must be something simple!? Can it be that somehow it would be hardware-related? I mean maybe on some configuration, Windows just doesn't record the mouse history? I am on Windows 10.

Is there an alternative, better way to do this? Is this an outdated method?
