Does Groove music app in Windows 10 down samples the hi-res audio files ?

Does Groove music app in Windows 10 down samples the hi-res audio files ?

I have Michael Jacksons album - Thriller in 24bit 176.4 kHz, downloaded from HDtracks - legal download.

But my laptops sound card does not support 176.4 kHz as most of the other laptops. Thus foobar 2000 and JRiver Media Centre can't play those files at native sample rate by using WASAPI.

But Groove seems to play it.... I highly doubt at native 176.4 kHz.... I think groove music is downsampling it to 44.1khz and maybe even at 16 bit.....

Below are the screen shots. Please explain what groove music is exactly doing.
