I'm going to say it's not supported:

The last build is from

MESHMIXER 3.5 (APRIL 17, 2018)

While it says: Microsoft Windows 7 or later

W11 wasn't an option back then

It's not rocket science, you just have to follow exact steps outlined all over the web for "old" software in new Win11 instead of whatever macho tough-nut thing it is you opted to slide into now LOL

Good luck.

Just tried the latest version of Meshmixer on Windows 11. Works as with Windows 10.

But always if you install new software, things can go wrong. So I always recommend to do a full backup of your OS. If something goes wrong, just do a restore.

I just did it as well .... needed 3ds Max and Inventor 2023 ...

@campagna while it works, It's likely at our own discretions ..

Make sure you have a back up file just in case .
