I believe Win 11 production release is due to be released the same week as SR2 which is a few weeks away yet... so good timing!

I have this note from the development team:

" In the initial testing no issues were found with Studio therefore there will be a mention in the release notes around Studio compatibility and Windows 11. "

I would note however that if you are planning to install it now you are doing so prior to the public release.  What's the hurry?

Hi Paul,

No hurry, really. I am just one of those that click yes if there is an update, same goes for buying the newest version of Studio :-)

I am planning to do the same. Have you already updated? Did it work?

I have just upgraded to Windows 11, I have the latest version of Trados Studio 2021 SR1 - 16.1.8.4404, "Check for updates" does not show anything newer.

All seems to be working OK so far.

Hi Michael! Still no problems? I plan to switch this weekend.

Hi Knut,

Still working OK, I haven't been aware of any issues. Having said that, I'm not aware of any benefits/improvements in Windows 11, apparently they are mostly "behind the scenes". To start with, the Snipping Tool had gone and the new version didn't work - that has been fixed. Another annoyance is that you can't choose the position of the Taskbar - it is fixed at the bottom, the only option being left or centre. In Windows 10 I always had it on the right-hand side, mainly to gain a little height on my landscape monitor but it was also a matter of personal preference. The new Start Menu is also a bit of a mess - looks like change for the sake of it.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the update! I seldom appreciate updates as you lose things you are happy with and there is a bunch of new things you are not interested in and you wonder if the new stuff behind the scene is an improvement for you or the business that sells you the thing. But the problems when not updating will accumulate as the time goes by, so I just want to get it over with in the beginning. And sometimes there are something new that makes life easier, which is good.
