Some bugs with LR Classic 10.4 installed on the new Windows 11.
- unable to use the software while importing photos.
- cannot permanently delete a photo from the disk, the link with the trash is non-existent. In LR you must then delete the photo from the catalog, then go to Windows Explorer and manually delete the photo.
Probably other bugs exist, I haven't explored everything yet. I hope that the developers will quickly find a solution before the official release of Win11...

So you are using a “beta” version of Win 11?
Guess you could report your findings to Windows.
This is a user to user forum, there is little we can do here.

Lightroom will announce when their applications are updated to support Win 11!
Best not to use your primary installation of LrC to test Win 11. Just my thoughts.

As stated, most of us are not Adobe, and we generally have no idea when Adobe will release anything.
But, I am fairly sure that Adobe will not work on anything related to Windows 11 until it is released. Why? Because they could be wasting time while MS changes all sorts of issues.Oh, they might play around with existing LrC on a beta release of Windows 11, and probably tell MS what is wrong, but actual writing of code?
They most certainty will not release anything until after Microsoft releases Windows 11.
Incidentally, what is the customer base of Window 11 users going to be for Adobe to justify spending money. Very few customers have equipment Windows 11 ready. Some may just need a chip, many will need new computers. This is going to be far worse than migrating to Windows 10. Heck, look at all the Windowe 7 holdouts. Adobe might not be so quick on this one. Look how long it took to get something that sort of works on Apple M1.
That having been said. I take it you are a certified beta tester? Point of beta release is to test, test what MS has fouled up.

You are right on many points, thank you for this relevant analysis.

Have you had any chance to test on a newer prerelease of Windows 11? Any news on the problems you mentioned?
With under 5 weeks till release the current Windows build must be pretty close to a release candidate: I would expect Adobe to have ironed out any obvious problems with compatibility before October 5.

As stated above, we can't help you, because as stated above, we are not Adobe developers here in this forum, and furthermore no version of Lightroom or Lightroom Classic is currently supported on Windows 11.

Thanks.
Have you experienced any showstopping problems with Window 11? With just 3 weeks to release day I would be surprised if there were any.

Hello,
Finally I reinstalled properly Windows 11 + Lightroom + Photoshop and all the mentioned problems disappeared ! Adobe software works without any problems on the "new" Microsoft OS.

Installed the official Windows 11 Pro yesterday, and then tried to import about 150 photos from yesterdays concert.
As you said - Unable to use the software while importing photos. In fact both the mouse and keyboard froze most of the time whle the preview processing went on. This is probably a Windows tuning problem - let's hope they get it sorted out fast.
And that was about as far as I got yesterday.
Apart from that - all dialogues and input fields look more "mac-like", less contrasty and harder to read. I will have to take a look around for some configuration options here.
