I love the irony in it, it's frustrating but we can laugh about it rather then cry, cheers Toby UU

Recently I upgraded to Windows 11 Professional (have use Home for >20yrs w/o issues) because I wanted a VM and Sandbox and a few other Pro options... That warning aways came up for years and I recall a few people saying it was because I used Home.... well,.. I know that is BS because I use other systems with Pro and w/ the so called certified graphics... what was interesting though, after upgrading to Pro,.. I did NOT get that error!? Well after a few days, and it came back?!.... LOL,.. never ceases to amaze or needle me.

Love it! Digging the dimension of 42. Perhaps 66 should have been 66.6? Or is that asking for more than a naggy popup given that even opening Solidworks means dabbling with dark forces better left alone.

Happens to me randomly. Sometimes on a very basic part.

128GB RAM, Quadro RTX 4000 "Shouldn't" be an issue.

Run RX and see what it tells you. If there is a red X, address it.

The only red x is the system "There is no information on your configuration in our database"

Even though it's Boxx ,even though I have run the diagnostic test on it and submitted to their database. So there's that.

I have just come to accept "It's SW, and it's a day ending in 'y'" on some of the quirks over the last 25 years.

I get the "check your system" message almost every day and there are no red X's on mine. And the only warning is that I am not on the latest version.

We don't really get it much anymore unless we're working on heavy assemblies/drawings and when we were getting it my VAR kept telling me that it would give me a warning as long as there's a Red X, which is why I figured I'd point it out.

I guess the point that was saying was that it has cried wolf so often that I completely ignore it now. And If I ever call a VAR and the VAR mentions that it is an issue, then it will almost completely discredit him/her in my eyes. Unless they can point out a rock solid reason that it is happening and the diagnostics aren't picking it up.

Yeah I understand that, I worked on that really hard because it was often used as an excuse "lol look at your RX it says something is wrong, fix that and come back to us if the issue persists"
