@Torpedo and others having problems with Win11 and TWos...

I may have a solution! I'll know for certain after more testing but for now, I have everything working again, even the elusive recognition manual images!

If you want to test it, here's what I did:

1. Search for "Security" or go to settings\Windows Security
2. In the panel, find "App & Browser Control"
2.1 "Reputation-based protection": Turn off
2.2 "Exploit protection": Open "Exploit protection settings"
2.2.1 There are two headings, System settings and Program settings. Click on Program settings
2.2.2 Click on plus sign next to "Add program to customize", then browse to your sh5.exe to add it
2.2.3 Click on sh5.exe once it is in the list. There are 23 possible overrides. Turn all of them OFF! Then click 'Apply'.
2.3 Verify that your 'Silent Hunter 5' folder is excluded from antivirus scans.
2.4 If you are not running a separate anti-malware program, make sure that "Exploit Protection" is turned off. I'm using Malwarebytes, so I turn that off in the Malwarebytes control panel, not in Windows Security.
Test out a copy of TWoS with all of the read-only settings turned OFF!

If you turn off Exploit Protection, it may be best to turn it back on before browsing the Internet.
Good luck and I hope it also works for you.
