Windows 11 packet tracer issues

[samad_alam1212]

Hi All

Having issues using packet tracer on the new windows 11.

It loads up but then freezes straight after. I have old packet tracer lab files which also open but freeze up.

I've uninstalled and done all the usual checks i.e windows firewall to no avail.

Event logs shows below:

The program PacketTracer.exe version 8.0.1.63 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.
Process ID: 453c
Start Time: 01d7dd69c3167070
Termination Time: 17
Application Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Packet Tracer 8.0.1\bin\PacketTracer.exe
Report Id: 9ec368c3-98da-438e-8250-59521ffcdc61
Faulting package full name:
Faulting package-relative application ID:
Hang type: Unknown

Any help will be appreciated.
