How to Run Older Programs in Compatibility Mode in Windows 11

Despite using a stable Windows 11, you will probably face compatibility issues. Windows 11 is still under testing, and app developers will take more time to make their apps fully compatible with the new operating system. You may face compatibility issues while running programs designed for older versions of Windows such as Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10.

Since Microsoft knows app developers would take time to make their apps compatible with Windows 11, it had made its new operating system backward compatible. With backward compatibility, Windows 11 can easily run programs built for Windows 10, 8, or even 7.

However, the catch is that you must run the older programs in compatibility mode. Another thing you should note is that Windows 11’s compatibility mode doesn’t guarantee running all old software.

So, if you are facing app incompatibility issues on Windows 11, you can run them in Compatibility Mode. Below, we have shared a step-by-step guide on how to run old programs in Windows 11 via compatibility mode. Let’s check out.

1. First, right-click on the program you want to run in compatibility mode and select Properties. You can also try this in an executable (.exe) file.

4. Once done, click on the drop-down menu underneath it and select an operating system on which the app was working before.

For that, open the App Properties page, enable the Reduced Color mode and Run in 640×480 screen resolution. After making the changes, click on the Apply button.

This will run the compatibility troubleshooter in Windows 11. On the Select troubleshooting option, select the ‘Try recommended settings’.
