### Answer by Himanshi Gupta

There are [multiple](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2323/handling-multiple-submit-button-in-asp-dot-net-mvc) reasons that your [software](https://www.mindstick.com/) works fine on Windows 10 but crashes on Windows 11.

Some possible reasons can be

1. Incompatibility—Windows 11 has a different system [structure](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/302153/structured-vs-unstructured-data-key-differences) and cone than [Windows 10](https://www.mindstick.com/category/article/windows10). It might be the reason that your software is not suitable for the new structure and core of [Windows 11](https://www.mindstick.com/category/news/windows-11).

2. Driver errors—There is a [difference](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/398/difference-between-object-type-and-var-type) in the driver version and their [compatibility](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/303291/best-practices-for-working-with-host-apis-security-compatibility-and-performance-considerations) between Windows 10 and Windows 11; it can also cause issues with your software.

3. System Settings—You need to go through to check the [default](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/2204/what-are-the-new-enhancements-done-in-default-project-template-of-asp-dot-net-mvc-4) setting [security](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1671/wcf-security-in-dot-net-technology-using-c-sharp) features and overall system requirements between these two operating systems; it might be the cause of your issue.

4. Integration problems—There are many frameworks that are not compatible with Windows 11. So, check whether the [framework](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12/dot-net-framework) is suitable for your system or not.

To resolve the issue, follow these steps:

Fix software bugs—update your software to resolve the issue when you update your software so it will be compatible with Windows 11. \
Update system preferences—you need to fulfill the software's requirement to resolve the issue. \
Utilize compatibility software—check whether you are using the compatibility tools or not; otherwise, it will create problems with your system.

By going through these steps you will understand the cause of your issue, and also by following these steps you will resolve the issues.
