The thing I remember having a consistent effect was unplugging my network cable. I did all the above before posting this thread, and of course nothing was working. I also saw info about upgrading nvidia drivers. I did see notes regarding iGPU+GPU setups and multimonitor causing similar issues. The 12700k has a good enough GPU to run F360 without a card though… pretty cool and efficient. That ole 2500k btw… still runs F360 just fine hehe, but it does require a video card to do so. However win11/gen12 so far it seems not too shakey ground to be for now (bios released recently got my PC to sleep and reboot consistently, YAY lol!), and will of course get more solid over time. I had a feeling I’d have a few teething issues to deal with, especially when I brought on win11. That said, I certainly am not regretting the upgrade… new rig is snappy as all git up! For example, compiling Marlin2 for my GTR1.0 board in 28sec… F360 renders are insanely fast now (though TBH rendering makes up ~1% of my F360 time either way… not big into renders). Funny part is, I didn’t even need to replace my good ole 2500k setup, and that HDR crash is still there (known nvidia issue, just have to be careful how you use HDR on both the new and old PCs). That was a bit early adopter than normal for me to do, but my HDR crashes came right as alderlake was being released, and I couldn’t resist. I ended up building a rig with z690-12700k-32GB (ddr4 yeah). My desktop is very new no thanks to dealing with issues with windows HDR. I’m sure the decade old (cd-rom distributed) version I have most certainly doesn’t work on win 11 either, but I’m doing 99.9% of my work in F360 anymore.

The latest solidworks has an official “TBA” on win 11 (red “X” on previous versions): So it is officially supported, and I guess those threads I read that mentioned otherwise are a bit dated. So all I know is my procedure involved a bunch of desk pounding, running the autodesk clean uninstall tool, and reinstalling… occasionally not using the clean uninstall tool to see if anything changed.Įither way, I just noticed Autodesk actually does have “Windows 10 or Windows 11” under their system requirements for Fusion 360.

TBH I was shotgunning the problem by the time it was fixed. So I did finally end up getting it working about 1hr after my post.
