Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a great weekend. I decided to purchase a new laptop to replace my old one as it was becoming too slow for my needs. However, when I transferred all my data to the new computer, I encountered an error message when trying to open my Rslinx Classic Lite version. Can anyone confirm if all versions of Rockwell Automation software are compatible with Windows 11? Thanks in advance.
To utilize this product, ensure you have RSLinx version 4.30 or higher and necessary updates for Windows 11.
If you're encountering errors while trying to install RSLinx, it's possible that your laptop is running Windows 11 S Mode. This restricts installations to apps from the Microsoft Store only. Learn how to switch out of S Mode on Windows with Microsoft Support for a smoother experience.
According to clintm, it is recommended to have RSLinx version 4.30 and some Windows 11 updates for optimal performance. Thank you for the feedback, I will proceed with the recommended versions.
Picklemon mentioned that apart from requiring a newer RSLinx version, the error message might indicate that your laptop is in Windows 11 S Mode. This mode restricts the installation of programs not from the Microsoft Store. If you need to switch out of S mode in Windows, you can find assistance on the Microsoft Support website. Thank you for your input. I want to clarify that my laptop is not activated in S mode. I am currently in the process of downloading version 4.30.
clintm recommended updating to at least version 4.30 of RSLinx and installing necessary Windows 11 updates to resolve issues when attempting to open Emulate 500. This issue popped up during my latest attempt to access the software.
Hi, I trust you're enjoying your new laptop aside from this small hiccup. To answer your question, not all versions of Rockwell Automation software, including Rslinx Classic, are immediately compatible with newer operating systems like Windows 11. It's possible the version you're using isn't supported yet. I'd recommend checking Rockwell's official compatibility page or reaching out to their support for an accurate answer. Alternatively, you could try setting up a virtual machine running a version of Windows your software is known to work with, and run Rslinx there.
Hi there! I had a similar issue when I first switched to Windows 11. Most Rockwell Automation software versions, including RSLinx Classic Lite, can present compatibility issues with the latest Windows versions. You might have to resort to running the software in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows or wait for a software update for full Windows 11 compatibility. I found the Rockwell Knowledgebase quite helpful with these issues.
