Any known Windows 11 problems?

Hi,

As the title says... Are there any known UCCNC / UC300ETH Windows 11 problems? I am about to upgrade from W10 Pro to W11 Pro but I am a bit anxious about it, since I never had any problems since W10 been introduced so I am a bit concerned. I know the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" but Microsoft is pushing W11 and soon we all need to upgrade anyway and I don't like using outdated OS, especially not on my general PC, which is my UCCNC PC also.

Everything that works on Win10 works on Win11. My daily driver is a Win11 laptop and any combination of UCCNC and motion controllers work fine.

A lot of older PC's are not compatible with Windows 11, usually due to their CPU's. Win11 requires a fairly recent CPU.
I don't have a machine running UCCNC, but I do have an AXBB-E connected to my Windows 11 PC, and I haven't seen any issues while testing.

Yes, not all PCs are compatible, but Microsoft is only pushing the W11 to those which are compatible, at least my older PCs never reminds me of installing W11. Anyway, I did the installation on Friday and all went well. So far not seen any problems, even though I did not run UCCNC yet, but Dezsoe confirmed no issues, so I don't expect any. Hopefully even my Modbus link is working as before.

BTW, so I like W11 more than W10. It's a nicer HMI and it feels faster also. Perhaps it's just in my head, but that's my impression so far with the softwares I am running.

I'm currently using UCCNC from my Dell laptop (G15 ryzen) with Windows 11 and as far as I know I didn't encounter any crash or bug or strange behaviour

Last night I tested it also with my UCCNC, both on my lathe and also the router and no problems at all. In fact, I like W11 because it feels faster and more modern, nicer interface.
