Can I run dreamweaver on windows 11 ? without damaging my system?

Correct answer susan_4129

Sounds like a hardware problem. Is this a laptop or desktop?

If it's a desktop, what's the brand & model of your display?

I updated everythiing on my Dell computer using thier tech support , we uninstalled/reinstalled dreamweaver and I am now able to use dreamweaver without any problems.

Now I get to refresh myself with dreamweaver

here's my website that I'm updating

thank you very much

Which version of DW?

Current Creative Cloud apps work on these systems:

Windows 11 (64-bit) versions 23H2, 22H2; Windows 10 versions 22H2, 21H2;
MacOS 15 (Sequoia), 14.7 (Sonoma), 13.6.7 (Ventura), 12.7.6 (Monterey).

Discontinued legacy apps are not certified beyond the systems they were built for. They might work, they might not. That's the risk you take with outdated software.

If your monitor is going black without using Dreamweaver you have a more serious issue with your computer that doesn't sound related at all to the use of Dreamweaver. If you wanted to remove all components of DW and this is a new installation without any other Adobe software you need to worry about you could use the cleaner tool to remove all pieces of Adobe software to start over more than re-installing would do: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html .

However, I would look to run system checks on your machine and look to re-install your video drivers as opposed to simply updating them.

Also, whenever there are really strange behaviors from an OS, what I would also recommend is setting up a new dummy or test user account on your computer and see if the issues are persisting across user accounts or if they are tied to a particular user account. You could also boot into safe mode to see if you are getting the display issues as if you are, it may not be software related.
