Windows 10: PC not compatible with windows 11, yet it literally always ran on windows 11??

The other day I was trying to play Minecraft when I noticed that the app didn't want to start after I clicked on it, I tried running as administrator and nothing seemed to want to work. I deleted the app and went to reinstall it from the store when I noticed that it didn't want to install. and that the store would sometimes randomly close after about 10 seconds of it being open. every time I tried installing something it'll load for a second then say "there was an unexpected problem on our end" Error code: 0x87af000bI've tried resetting the store with wsreset.exe and nothing, i tried uninstal

3DMark 11 v1.0.4 Released, Now Fully Compatible with Windows 8

Futuremark updated 3DMark 11 to version 1.0.4, which makes the benchmark fully compatible with Windows 8. The update also addresses other compatibility issues and a few uncommon bugs. Benchmark scores are not affected and scores from this new version can be compared with scores from the previous version 3DMark 11 v1.0.3.





DOWNLOAD: 3DMark 11 v1.0.4
Improvements:

• Keyboard focus is no longer checked during the demo or when running the benchmark in a loop. Note that if the display switches to the desktop due to a popup window during the benchmark, the run will still be aborted as the display mode is no longer the same.
• 3DMark 11 now remembers the last custom resolution used.
• GPU count detection for multi-GPU systems is now correct even when SystemInfo is explicitly disabled.
• 3DMark 11 will now prevent Windows from entering Sleep during the test.
• The license key is now reset when the benchmark is reinstalled, allowing removal of invalid keys.

Compatibility:

• SystemInfo updated to version 4.15 for full Windows 8 compatibility.
• Updated DirectX redistributable.
• Now using static Visual C++ 2010 runtime libraries to fix rare installation issues on some systems.
• Removed dependency on EvaDotNet.dll and EvaDotNet.DirectX.dll for GPU enumeration to fix compatibility issues with some systems.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed display initialization code that caused "SetFullscreenState failed: DXGI_ERROR_NOT_CURRENTLY_AVAILABLE" errors on some systems.
• Fixed several memory and texture leaks, improving stability during very long looping runs.
• The HUD timer no longer rolls over if a single test takes more than ten minutes. (Yes, this could happen during the Combined Test on some low end DirectX 11 cards.)

Professional Edition Only:

• Fixed submitting saved files to 3dmark.com from the command line.
• Image Quality Tool no longer gives a cryptic error if the output directory does not exist.

 

Windows 11 Compatibility

I answered my own question by scanning further down the list where a limited number of processors are listed under Windows 11. The lists specify ALL Windows OS compatible processors by OS version, not just Windows 11, while I assumed the list was of the processors compatible with Win 11. Again, the processors are listed for all OS versions and there are only a few processors listed for Windows 11.

 

Windows 11??

John,
If you're not trying to install Window 11 right now, look at, but don't do any of the workaround steps. Just letting you know so you're not tempted or confused and try any of them on your main PCs *Smile

If you have extra test PCs, then let me know how you like Windows 11 if you decide to try it with the workarounds.
