I bought a new laptop some time ago and have been using SkyDemon on it since day 1.
Today, Windows 11 blocked the application from starting up.
Apparently, a clean install of Windows 11 enables "Smart App Control" which is blocking the SkyDemon exe since it does not have a digital signature.
I have now turned Smart App off (which means I can't turn it on anymore until I fully reset my computer....) to be able to use SkyDemon.
More info here:

Signing an app is not a complex thing anymore nowadays. Perhaps it's an idea to start doing so?
