After installing E6 on a new Windows 11 machine, the program will not launch. I get a spinning wheel for a short time and nothing. I have run the license repair utility with no change.

E6 was working on my old Windows 10 box.

Any "support" email you may have received probably comes from a scammer.  Any official Adobe email will come from an Adobe.com address. Scammers send private messages to your Community account and you may receive a notification email from Adobe saying that you have received a PM.   If that is what happened, please let us know the name of the person who contacted you so we can get them banned from the forum.

Try running it in Windows compatibility mode.  Right-click on the desktop icon and select Properties.  Go to the Compatibility tab and make the settings like I have shown in the following screenshot.  I'm using Win 10, but I assume there is something similar in Win 11.  Please let us know if this works for you.
