Disable AI Super Resolution on Windows 10

Add explicit checks to prevent AI Super Resolution features from initializing or running on Windows 10. AI detection and initialization are now skipped on Windows 10, and the AI state is set to NotSupported. AI capability detection in the runner is only started on Windows 11 or later. This ensures AI Super Resolution is only available on supported Windows versions.
