Strangest thing. I did a scan in multiple parts and they look great. Then I went to open Studio and to merge them but it won’t load. I click the icon and nothing happens. I reinstalled it, I restarted the computer. I tried clicking it directly in the Program Files folder. No dice. This is Windows 11. ---

Perhaps try running Revo Studio in Administrator mode. ---

Good idea. Sadly it didn’t work. The “run as admin” permission thing popped up and I said yes, then nothing. Thankfully I have another computer I can use Studio on. ---

I heard early from the team that there maybe missed some component on Windows11 that is needed for Revo Studio, but kill me …I forgot what it was ---

Good news. There was a huge windows update. It took hours to download and install but once it did Revo Studio worked again. ---

Would you please post the Windows 11 build info? Easily done by tapping the Windows Start button and entering “winver” in the text window. ---
