      Hi,

       

      in an other community I read, it coul help to rename the "my digital editions" folder. Now it works. Perhaps this could help other Windows 11 users.

      Hello,

       

      I've had issues with ADE 4.5 not working on Windows 11. Unable to authorize my laptop. I decided to switch the application to compatibility mode Windows 7 and it worked without issues.

      To start an application in Compatibility mode, right click on the short cut in the start menu and go to "Open file location" then right click again on the shortcut and select Properties and then on the Compability tab, select Windows 7 compatibility mode.

        Just got a Windows 11 Dell laptop.  Seemed like ADE worked once, then wouldn't load books.  I removed and reinstalled, re authorized, tried compatibility mode.  Still haven't been able to get it to work.  It's been working on my old Windows 10 laptop just fine.  No help from Adobe?

        La version la plus récente de Adobe Digital Editions ne fonctionne pas avec Windows 11. J'ai essayé la suggestion publiée mais sans succès. Il serait temps qu'il y ait une correction pour ce problème ne croyez-vous pas ?

          Bonjour, j'ai changé le nom du fichier My digital editions pour Mon edition digitale et tout fonctionne. Merci.
