Not that we are aware of :)

The code for handling ask/answer dialogs on windows hasn't changed - 
they are 'just' modal stacks wrapped in engine syntax so if they were 
generally broken on Windows 11 with LC10, I think we would have heard by 
now (I do windows development in Windows 11, and haven't see this issue 
for example).

Could ask your friend to see if he sees the same issue with 9.6.13 - 
that will help narrow down the possible causes.

Of course, there could be Windows 11 system settings which are affecting 
things - or indeed third party software. Any information your friend 
could provide there might help.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
