I switched to Win 11 as soon as it launched, never had an issue with the OS and MSFS, infact i would go as far to say, some of the niggly issues early in MSFS 2020, vanished after the switch.

Win11 performs beautifully with all flightsims I uninstall... , I mean, while they're installed... 

I never uninstalled Win11, so I REALLLLLLY like it, particularly for the "feel of flight"...

Jokes apart, if not for the better stability, for instance when subject to system updates, compared to Win 10, Win 11 has become my preferred Windows version since I use Windows (the last one having been XP, for desktop non-server machines...).

MSFS might be working a little better for me performance wise in win 11 than win 10. But it's not worse for sure.

I did not like all the changes (elimination of Windows features) in Windows 11, but most of them went away when I bought Start11 from Stardock ($10). It also added features (like about 30 ways to modify the taskbar). I always buy from Stardock whenever a new numbered Windows version appears. (Start8, Start10, Start11). Basically these all made Win 8,10,11 GUI, desktop, and taskbar look and operate a whole lot like Windows 7 did.

I never saw the "modern UI screen" in Windows 8, Start8 swept that away, so that there was only desktop mode. Also it ditched "Charms" and "Swipes". Making Windows 8 look and feel almost exactly like Windows 7.

My Windows 11 also looks more like 7.

Make a backup of the AIG folders in your Community folder and put them back in the same place after the clean install of W11. No need at all to redownload all AIG files.

Yeah tried that last time. Did not work. There’s a config file somewhere and if you miss a step it ignores everything.
