Has anyone here used Spike Recorder on Windows 11? Is it designed to work with Windows 11 OS?
I’ve been able to download and open Spike Recorder on a desktop that runs Windows 10, and on my Android smartphone and iPad. While I can download and install Spike Recorder on my work and personal laptop, which are running Windows 11, the program will not open. I did some digging and the Spike Recorder program will try to open, but when I monitor task manager and/or resource manager it looks like it is automatically suspended and terminated.
I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue and has any fixes?
This issue with Windows 11 compatibility had occurred in the past, but it was resolved through a software fix some time ago and hasn’t been reported again until now.
I’ve reached out to a colleague and we’re currently looking into it to identify what might be going on. I’ll get back to you with an update and a solution as soon as possible.
