Hi, Same issue reported here: Installation of DevKinsta on Windows 11 But the above ticket hasn’t been properly solved. Basically, I find it impossible to install the app on Windows 11, not even with command prompt (the solution suggested in the other ticket). And there’s no problem with the UAC…

OMG OMG IT WORKS!!! :smiley: Problem solved. Soooo, if someone else with Windows 11 experiences the same issue, these are the steps that finally fixed the no-install problem: Go to Windows Security > Reputation-Based Protection, and disable EVERYTHING, except Phishing protection. THEN RESTART TH…

Hi there @WPDev_Studio :wave: and welcome to Kinsta Community! Thank you for reporting this case to us. I’ve installed DevKinsta (also re-installed for couple of times and been using it for several months) both on my main laptop (Linux Ubuntu 22.04 O/S) and also on my 2 other spare mini PCs based…

@Agus Thanks for the thorough testing on your end. I also made a quick research regarding these unknown accounts, and all the Microsoft answer on all relevant threads is that these are just traces of old accounts that have been deleted.

You’re most welcome @WPDev_Studio :bowing_man: I see, yeah that’s really strange indeed and I’m not sure either why you have that “Account Unknown” thing (not really sure, if those were just left over data/user-accounts that were not removed completely and those might be created by the previous sof…

Wow! Huge thanks for taking a deeper look into this, @Agus ! Windows likes to play ugly games with its users these days - I’ll give these resources a thorough read, then, if nothing works, a complete reinstall is still an option. Thanks again for the awesome support!!

You’re most welcome! :heart: Alright, sure please take your time, and yeah hopefully any of those suggested methods may help (or otherwise a clean re-install of Windows 11 when necessary)! best regards, Agus

@Agus , a last question: is there a Kinsta Dev documentation somewhere? I mean, I have zero experience with Docker, and it would be great to know how do I access WP files, database, etc, from a Windows machine running Docker and a linux kernel.

Awesome! I’m so happy to hear that you were finally able to sort it out and to install DevKinsta! :tada: :clap: Thanks for sharing the steps taken from your end as well! that would be very useful for other users that may be experiencing similar issue in the future! :bowing_man: Nice! glad that you…
