Good question, and I would be interested in hearing of anyone's experiences with this as well.  I haven't yet upgraded to Windows 11 - there are several of the changes I'm not quite ready for, I think! (getting set in my ways as I get older!)  Thanks to anyone who can share how Windows 11 plays with GSAK!!

I think, that it cannot be even launched as I know, on website https://gsak.net/index.php is written that it is supported Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, with XP and below not supported. So I understand it like this. But I think that it is possible to launch and run without any difficulties. But be careful. But I am glad that you are giving questions like this. I would also like to launch it on Windows 11.

On the GSAK forums it is said that it runs on W11 but there are some issues with IE.  In particular, automatic upload of FSG stats to the profile page is broken.

I use Windows 11 for a week now and I have no problems running GSAK.

The only thing I noticed is that the progress bar flickers a little bit.

I don't use the FSG stats macro, so I can't tell if that works or not.

New to Windows 11 - GSAK will not display maps on specific geocaches or if using Get Geocaches Map.

I know this is an old thread that's been brought back to life but I'll go ahead and chime in right quick since I'm here. I have no trouble at all using GSAK on my desktop running Windows 11. Just used it yesterday to filter for caches I thought would be more to my liking. Will admit, I haven't ran a macro in a long time or gotten into the more advanced stuff GSAK can do. Pretty basic here, load query, sort caches, and download to the old Garmin..

FWIW I've been running GSAK on a Windows11 Home edition for a couple of years and doing everything on it  (maps,macros,etc) pretty much every day with no issues.

I also haven't had any issues with GSAK on Windows 11, other than the minor nuisance of getting it to open cache pages in the correct browser sometimes.
