Does anyone else remember when Microsoft claimed windows 10 would be the last windows? Probably more than half the applications I use for work do not work properly on a machine running windows 11. We know this because we tried. A controlled rollout ended in a roll back to windows 10 for the company I work for. It's not that difficult to understand. Something about weird aspect ratios in our legacy software (that we are required to use) making drop downs and clickable buttons completely unviewable. We were able to use windows 8 compatibility mode on our windows 10 computers but that doesn't fix the problem on windows 11. The company that created that software isn't doing more than bug fixes and security updates for it and so this problem will never be rectified. That's why.
