LRC and Windows 11?

I would not recommend upgrading to Windows 11. Mainly for one reason: The color management is even worse than in Windows 10 and currently not working at all with Adobe. To this day, Lightroom and many other tools are not ably get the monitor profiles. There is no workaround for this issue and discussed on several platforms (Reddit, Microsoft Community, Adobe Community). 

Eizo even explicitly advises not to use Windows 11 because of this isse:

Due to a bug in the OS, it is not possible to get the ICC profile information even though the ICC profile has been correctly applied to the OS. There is currently no solution within the software settings. We highly recommend not using a PC installed with Microsoft Windows 11 for the time being.

Additionally, I have severe issues with DPI and scaling of the UI, but I can't confirm that this is a specific Windows 11 issue or just a general bug.  See here and here. 

I'd say Lightroom would be Windows 11 ready since it performs really well besides the two issues I mentioned. If you calibrated your monitors and color management is important to you, then definitely wait with upgrading until this issue is fixed. 

I have been running Windows 11 and LR/PS without any performance issues. However the color profile is off for LR where images are desaturated.  Laptop monitor is calibrated with a 1studio display. 

I took an edited image from my laptop to my desktop and the image difference is striking (with  the aforementioned desaturation no longer present), and the image looked as I desired it to look.  My desktop is running Windows 10 and is also calibrated with 1studio display colorometer.   

Anyone else seeing this issue?  It almost seems as if it is a Windows color profile issue more than a LR issue since the end image looks like  I desire, albeit on my desktop not my laptop. 

Any ideas to help with this by chance?  I'd like to use my laptop more b/c it is WAY faster than my desktop for workflow and it was working, (i.e. edited image looked the same on the desktop). 

Thanks in advance.

Lightroom Classic and Windows 11 have frozen a couple of times today while working in Lightroom Develop module.

I'm running Windows 11 PRO Beta Channel Windows Insider Program Version 21H2 OS Build 22000.194 installed on 31/07/2021 and have not noticed any problem in using Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. For me it is completely ready.

Windows 11 will be released this month of October.

Hi

I'm running Windows 11 Pro at Insider program.

Creative cloud runs normaly, installation is possible. Lihtroom Classic starts but saying "cann't connect to server" and will exit. Even internet is available. So I would say its not working in Windows 11 yet.

Is Lightroom Classic ready for Windows 11?

By @keithz829

You should ask Adobe. We are not Adobe in this forum, we are other Lightroom Classic users.

Forget about LrC; is anyone ready for Windows 11? I know I'm not after the problems I had upgrading to Windows 10 from 7. 😉

As already said by Axel, it probably will be compatible from the release date of 11.

Windows 11 is not even available as beta release yet. All there currently is availabe is a developer version and I wouldn't expect Adobe to share information based on an early stage developer version.

Windows 11 isn't actually released by Microsoft and the release date isn't known by anyone.

I think LR is running with the new Windows version and Adobe will be updated all of their apps if it's necessary
