  Dear all!
  I have an issue with starting fluent within the ansys workbench. Everytime when I want to start it, the programm opens but nothing happens and when I'm closing it with the taskmanager I get the notfication that "Fluent is unable to validate the connection". I already did a google search an did check the solutions which I found, but with no luck. So I reinstalled Ansys but also with no luck.
  My computer runs on windows 11 could this maybe the issue?
  I'm looking forward to your solutions!

  Hi Windows 11 is not officially Supported.
  See the following for Requirements:
  https://www.ansys.com/academic/students/ansys-student
  ( System and Browser Requirements)
  
  That being said, try shutting down your firewall as a test and try to run.
  If it does work, you will need to add the programs to the firewall exclusions.
