Cannot be installed on Win11

Post by KevinarCZ »

Hi,
Cheat Engine cannot be installed in Win11. The Setup process starts (seen in Task Manager), the Windows Problem Reporting process starts and the entire Setup process ends automatically. Turning off the antivirus did not help (ESET Smart Security).
Any idea how fix it?

Thank you

All the more reason to hate Windows forced eventual update. Every time they finally get a stable OS; they decide to go around and break everything by forcing people to get a new one. XP to Vista, Vista to 7, 7 to 10.... History never changes.

Did you disable "reputation based protection"

it turns itself on every now and then so do check again if you did disable it
(and check your firewall)

it certainly can be installed, even with smartscreen/reputation based protection, you just have to explicitly allow the execution when defender come screaming (tho bundling ads in the installer does not help the ce case here).

disabling antivirus does not actually disable or unload antivirus drivers that do various filtering of filesystem and system calls, so you might want to temporarily uninstall the 3rd party av (I know it's a pain, but idk how you completely disable it without that).
