Hi, I’m using quite a lot of context overriding like this:

```auto
override = {
  'window': window, 
  'screen': window.screen, 
  'area': window.screen.areas[0]
}
bpy.ops.screen.screen_full_area(override)

```

But in Blender 4.0 Beta and 4.1 Alpha it ends with [this exception](https://github.com/blender/blender/blob/63e1d062337bc3cd714efd075c882f11bdeb088e/scripts/modules/bpy/ops.py#L60).

Wtf happened here? Is there any replacement? It’s quite a big paradigm shift in Python API I guess.

Ah, I see now. Sometimes I google for a long time and just seconds after asking I find the correct answer…

```auto
with bpy.context.temp_override(...):
    bpy.ops.screen.screen_full_area()

```
