Hi, exactly as written in the title, freefem is not working anymore on a new windows 11 update (before that it worked fine always on windows 11), in particular, whenever I choose the file I have to run, it crashes and shows the following error: 0xc0000142.
There is any way I can solve it?

I sorry, I have not machine with the last window11 version, so I can not test !
But some information can be useful:
Which FreeFem++ version, which example, how to launch:
from graphic interface or through cmd or PowerShell windows.

I launch the code from the graphic interface. I use FreeFem++ 4.11.
If this can be of any help, the computer is on windows 11, version 22H2, build 22621.675.
Just for context, [this](https://community.freefem.org/t/freefem-not-working-on-windows-11/1631) is the same problem I have.

FreeFem 4.11 works for me on Windows11. Can you send an .epd file that gives that error ?

It worked for me too until a the latest update, the edp files are fine, because I could run them before this last update (the running and not running versions are both on windows 11). I cannot run the examples either without freefem crushing.

My computer is on Windows 11, version 21H2, build 22000.1098… so this is probably due to windows update.
