Does anyone know if Sound Forge Audio Studio 13 is compatible with Windows 11? Magix website says the following: We do not support Windows 10/11N operating systems, as the necessary Windows Media features are missing. If you are using such an operating system, try downloading and installing the Windows Media Features Pack. It then lists a microsoft.com support link but it's written in German. https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/media-feature-pack-f%C3%BCr-windows-10-11-n-september-2022-78cfeea5-c7d9-4aa8-b38f-ee4df1392009

Hi

. . . . do not support Windows 10/11N operating systems . . . .

Windows 10/11 N are 'stripped down' versions with some media handling features missing, hence they are not supported.

Regular Windows 11 Home and Pro editions should support SFAS 13.

Do note that you will also have to set Windows, Privacy & Security, Camera and Microphone, Let desktop apps access your camera/microphone may need turning on.
