Can't install on Windows 11

DevKinsta Installation

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:

  1. Go to Windows Security > Reputation-Based Protection, and disable EVERYTHING, except Phishing protection. THEN RESTART THE DEVICE.
  2. Right click over the DevKinsta.exe file, click Properties, and process the following updates:
    2.1. If there’s an UNBLOCK checkbox on the General tab, check it, and click Apply
    2.2. On the Compatibility tab, check the ‘Run this program as an administrator’ tab, and again: click Apply
    2.3. THAT’S NOT ENOUGH!!! In the same Security tab, click the ‘Change settings for all users’ button, and in the new popup that opens repeat the previous step: check the ‘Run this program as an administrator’ tab, and again: click Apply

And that’s it - after these updates, I could install the app, finally, a real miracle. BUT, the app install only completes after:

  • updating the linux kernel in command prompt with wsl --update
  • installing Docker
  • restarting the device again

Additionally, it might be worth creating a Docker account, but this one doesn’t seem to be a requirement.

WHAT A HAPPY NIGHT!! :tada:
