Based on some recent comments about color problems with Windows 11 I did a test, I'm currently running several notebooks on W10, all configured with very similar software - i1profiler and Qimage for printing with icc profiles.
I upgraded a smaller notebook - rarely used at this time - to windows 11 which took a rather long time and several restarts of the upgrade process due to various Microsoft error codes during the upgrade - the upgrade process didn't like an external USB drive , the upgrade installer told me at 85% that the upgrade rather should be started in admin mode and more of that; I got through finally - it is interesting that printers didn't need a driver update and the relevant software - i1profiler and Qimage - are working without a patch or re-install or whatever.
I profile an Action 210gr glossy paper the regular way and did a printout of a test image with that profile - no change to the profile I created earlier under W10 - the gamut is the same. I don't have a reason to assume at this time - in my softwrae environment - that Winodws 11 has a negative impact onto the profile generation und use of such profiles. All problems over the last days were related to the upgrade process itself - very unclear error codes - an error code can have 5 - 10 different reasons which helps a lot until you know what the problem is. Is there any benefit at this time to upgrade to W11 at this time - I don't see it if you don't upgrade for other reasons.
