Open-shell Won't install on Win 11 Laptop (ARM64)

[TerryMorse]

Describe the bug

Not necessarily a bug. Possibly a Windows annoyance. I'm trying to install version 4.4.191 on a new Dell XPS running Windows 11, and the Program Compatibility Assistant keeps saying the program can't run on this device and won't let me install it. I'm new to Win 11 and can't find a way to override it, even if I run the installer as an administrator. Any suggestions how I can get it to install? Thank you.

Could it be that your laptop has ARM64 CPU?
Open-Shell is not compatible with ARM64.

Thanks for responding.

It is ARM64. What a bummer! I do so hate Windows 11.

There is #553 regarding ARM64 support.
For now there is not much you can do.

Thank you, geOrdi.

You can use StartAllBack which is compatible with Win 11 (ARM64). Not as nice as Open-Shell, but far better than what Windows 11 offers.
