Hello everybody!

It is easy and possible to get Windows 11/64 to run 16 bit bbs doors on. If you follow this to the letter it works. I have done this to 3 different systems, and it's worked everytime. I have 70+ doors running on my BBS under Synchronet and Mystic, with out a problem. All the Sunrise doors, JNS, and a bunch of other ones too. Again follow to the letter.

Windows 11 Pro x64 (25H2)  Running 16-bit DOS & Windows Programs

REQUIRED FIRST STEP (DO THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE)

Follow this guide completely BEFORE installing NTVDMx64 or making any other changes:
https://peter0x44.github.io/posts/windows11-legacy-console/

This step forces Windows back to the correct console environment. If you skip this or do it later,
NTVDMx64 may fail with errors such as 4001h.

Remaining Setup Steps (in order)
1 Enable Developer Mode (Settings  Privacy & Security  For Developers)
2 Install NTVDMx64 AFTER completing Step 0
3 Disable Memory Integrity (Core Isolation)
4 Disable Hyper-V / Virtual Machine Platform (if enabled)
5 Reboot system

Testing
1 Run: edit.com
2 Run: command.com
3 Run: your DOS application (example: lord.exe)
4 Expected: no 4001h error

Troubleshooting
1 4001h error  Step 0 was not completed first
2 Program closes instantly  run manually in CMD
3 Works on one PC but not another  console settings mismatch
4 No output  ensure Windows Console Host is active
Important Notes
1 This setup is not officially supported
2 Windows updates may break compatibility
3 Keep backups of your system
