Our engineers have been working diligently to determine how Windows 11 performs with Vectorworks 2021 and Vectorworks 2022. On September 30th, 2021, we installed the latest version of Windows:
Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 21H2
Installed on 9/30/2021
OS build 22000.194
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.194.0
We were able to test Vectorworks 2021 SP4 and our current release of Vectorworks 2022 SP0 and verify that most of the previously reported issues have been resolved.
