How to see locking thread of std::mutex in Visual Studio?

Question

Using Windows CRITICAL_SECTION, I can see the thread that locked it by expanding the variable:

However, I can't seem to do the same with std::mutex, and get a lot of useless values instead:

Is there a way around it that doesn't require modifying my code?

Thanks to @PeterT's comment, wrote a visualizer for various mutex types (place in /Documents/Visual Studio 2017/Visualizers/mutex.natvis):
