After upgrade to Win 11 from Win 10 - Autoit script will not run

[slongmire]

Had to upgrade from perfectly working win 10 to to win 11 pro on same machine and my simple little Autoit script had to be redone since the toolbar MUST be at the bottom on Win 11. I re-recorded the script and saved it and then opened it in Scite (5.56) and hit compile. It saved the compiled script in the Documents folder as an exe file. When I go to launch it however, whether as user or as Administrator - nothing happens on the screen - no mouse movement , not windows open, nothing. I have placed everything autoit files, folders, etc on the ignore list of Malwarebytes, but this made no changes. The script is very simple - it is meant to click the launch icon on the taskbar, wait for GRL3 to open, then click the File Publishing Start button and that's it.

 

Further, I can't even seem to get the Run Script with Autoit to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I so regret "upgrading" to Win 11!

save your script with UTF-8 encoding

Edit:

and change
_WinWaitActivate("classname=Shell_TrayWnd","")

to
_WinWaitActivate("[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]","")

lol, welcome to the future
Please remove the .exe you uploaded ( or a mod will ) since that is a problem for the site to have exe files in the chat/forum area
