Windows11 upgrade still hasn't shown up in update for me. Even though I'm on macOS now (Hackintosh). I would still like to update to 11. Where did you get your update from?

They're rolling out the updates in phases. Mine (for Intel 11th gen/Gigabyte MB) finally got pushed out through Windows Update earlier this week.

It has been one month since Windows 11 came out and I am struggling to find information on whether Protools is compatible with windows (unlike some other DAWs we have already confirmed their compatibility). Anyone running pro tools on Windows 11 and what is your experience. I will really like to upgrade to the latest Windows OS and want to ensure I do not have any hickups with pro tools.

I've been using W11 for about 5 months (now with 2021.12). Works well here.

I decided to boot into Windows Tuesday and the Windows11 update appeared. I backed up Windows10, installed Windows11, played around with a few Windows settings, ran PT via HDX, and everything for the 2 or 3 hours I played PT seems fine...just like in Windows10.

I found a showstopping bug in W11 right now. I'm building a Dolby Atmos Music mixing setup leaving my old Mac Pro to run Dolby Atmos Production Suite (which ridiculously isn't available on Win, only the much more expensive DAMS) - it seems on Win 11 Pro Tools cannot connect over the network to DAPS, just restarts when trying setup it in Peripherals. I have a laptop with the supported W10 21H1 version and can confirm it works on that machine, so it seems to be a true W11 bug.

Avid support already said that "we just have to wait" as the only help, so I have to seriously consider setting up a W10 partition from scratch, reinstalling *everything* which will take a seriously long time...

(I set up W11 because I wanted the performance benefits of the updated Task Scheduler, squeezing more performance out of my i9-12900K or more like making sure no power hungry processes end up on the efficiency cores... Gosh.)

Thank you all for your advice ! I upgraded to Windows 11 and so far pro tools is working fine.

The renderer selection thing happened to me in windows 10 too.

I installed the update a couple of weeks ago. Everything seems to work here, but I do get more frequent cpu usage errors. I pretty much never saw then on this machine in 10 with a 10900k.
