Have you tried running the Linux version directly on Win11 using WSL?

Hello,

You will have seen a number of messages from me about not being able to download and install GNUcash.

I have examined all the options I could find for overriding  or suspending all the security systems that were on my Lenovo IdeaPad 1 running Windows 11.

All the advice and suggestions that I found and tried gave me one of two results, the well known Windows etc cannot run this app, or, it is infected.

I'm not sure if this is a new phenomenon applicable only to Windows 11 or Lenovo, but it exists.

Apart from installing another OS has anybody any ideas? If not I am left with trying to do 2025 year end from another app or doing the job by hand.

Barry
