Hey, i was running Windows 10 with Spyshelter Firewall, and i Updated to Windows 11 24H2, I downloaded Spyshelter, which worked fine, when i tryed to activate it, it told me I need to download Spyshelter Classic. Clicking on the Download link it showed, I ended up downloading non Classic again (wrong link). So I had to look up Downloads for Classic myself. After finally downloading latest Spyshelter Premium (Classic), i end up with a non working Spyshelter as the Driver cannot be loaded. Any Update/Fix for this ? ---

Sorry for the issue. Microsoft has made changes to the latest Windows versions where the Classic software driver can’t seem to load. To solve the issue you can: 1. Download SpyShelter from [www.spyshelter.com](http://www.spyshelter.com) and use that. 2. Downgrade Windows to the previous version that doesn’t have this issue. You could also file a report with Microsoft and they may consider making changes in the future that could allow our Classic software to work again. ---

BTW, do you know on which version of Windows 11, SpyShelter Firewall 12 still works? I’m planning to buy a new laptop, and I would like to continue to use SpyShelter Firewall 12.3, since it offers more protection than SS 15 if I’m correct. ---

I’m not sure. SpyShelter was taken over by new management and the new management could not take over that particular Firewall software. We’ve found a lot of the old SpyShelter features don’t work at all in modern Windows so we don’t recommend using any versions of SpyShelter besides the version on our homepage. I doubt that the software you’re asking about still works, or even worse… it appears to work and actually doesn’t… 😬 ---

OK cool, then I probably misunderstood the first post. It’s indeed quite unlikely that SS Firewall 12 will work on any version of Windows 11, so I will have to switch to the new SS 15.
