Windows 11 more problems and incompatibilities

The problems with Windows 11, which was officially released by Microsoft on October 5 2021, slowly begin to accumulate. A post on the company's blog mentioned three problems identified by Microsoft.

Among other things, Virtualbox is not compatible. There is also some memory leak in Explore.

In processors of AMD, were observed also performance losses. It now turns out that some applications are causing problems due to entries in the Windows 11 registry. And it seems that Brother printers connected via USB can not print.

Microsoft lists all known issues in "Known issues” on the Windows 11 status page (the new functional referred to as 21H2).

In addition to the problems we mentioned at the beginning Bleeping Computer reports cases where the Start menu does not open after the upgrade σε Windows 11. Επίσης, υπάρχει ένα σφάλμα που αντιμετωπίζουν ορισμένοι χρήστες των Windows 11 με την παλιά γραμμή εργασιών των Windows 10 μετά την αναβάθμιση. Και τα δύο σφάλματα δεν επιβεβαιώνονται από τη Microsoft.

Compatibility issues with some applications

In the list of known issues, Microsoft added another entry. There are application compatibility issues when they use certain non-ASCII characters in their registry keys.

Microsoft states:

Compatibility issues have been identified between apps that use certain non-ASCII characters in Windows 11 registry keys or subkeys. Affected apps may not open and cause other problems or errors in Windows. This includes the possibility activationBlueScreen error.

Microsoft writes that affected registry keys with such non-ASCII characters may also be unrepairable. The problem is currently being investigated, and there is no solution yet. So Microsoft imposed a compatibility lock for these devices, during the "headache, cut head". This means that users will not be able to install Windows 11.

Brother printers do not work on USB ports

Brother printers also seem to have the problem as they cannot print on USB ports. Brother is currently testing the compatibility of printers with Windows 11 and writes:

If you cannot use a Brother machine when connecting it to a Windows 11 computer with a USB cable, we recommend that you temporarily use a different connection type, such as wired or wireless, if available.

Updating your operating system to Windows 11 may prevent your computer from:

Detect a Brother machine when connected to your computer with a USB cable.
Change the settings of a Brother machine.
Connect more Brother machines via USB.

Overall, the (92) models listed below are likely to be affected - and Brother recommends temporarily connecting printers to Windows 11 through a different method (or using printers without Windows 11).
