We had a test PC with Windows 11 and had to keep applying different band-aids to get PDM to work. Apparently Windows Explorer is a ground up rewrite and the PDM hooks do not work with it. The band-aids were to use the old Explorer process so PDM would work properly. It is my understanding the old Explorer will not be included in the public release so not sure what to do.

SURELY, someone from Solidworks can tell us if they have a hotfix or patch that can be applied. Maybe??? Our corporate overseers have mandated that Windows 11 will be pushed out if our PC is compatible. All of our Engineering PCs are, so if SWX cannot provide a solution we will be dead in the water.

Has anyone else heard anything through the grapevine?
