Hi All, I use Pathfinder to upload and correct GPS data. I'm worried about updating my computer to Windows 11 and losing access to the application.  Has anyone had any issues running pathfinder on windows 11? I have version 5.85.

Hi Sophia,

Not a direct answer to your question but in case you are not aware you may have a little more time to consider. Microsoft will now support W10 for one more year with free security updates, but you need to initiate this yourself and that action requires an MS account (which can be cancelled afterwards).

Cheers

Are you talking about changing to a Win11 PC or updating the old PC to Win11?

My old PC updated itself from Win10 to Win11, this did not affect Pathfinder Office in any noticeable way.  And there have not been floods of people complaining so smooth operation when Windows updates is probably common.

There were Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) problems which blocked USB connections to Windows Mobile devices, but those issues started before Windows 11 came along, and there's a Trimble Support Note which describes a step-by-step solution to get WMDC working again.
