Hello, I have a Windows 10 laptop with the Denon MC4000. Now I want to get a new laptop with Windows 11. As far as I have seen, there is no driver of Denon MC4000 for Windows 11.
Is there a way to still use it under Win 11? If so, how?

That's really a question for the Denon forum - but generally, Windows 11 really isn't that much different to previous versions, so older drivers should still work.
The download on their site just says Windows Driver. What makes you think it won't work?

Thanks for the info. On the Internet I had read that the MC4000 no longer works under Win 11. On the Denon support page under compatibility Win 11 it is only listed as a "test".
I thought I'd ask here in the forum right away, since there are obviously still some users of the MC4000.
Of course, I want to make sure it works before buying a new laptop.

I have had issues with older Denon drivers and *some* Windows 11 PCs although I can't find a pattern as to which work and which don't. There's no guarantee it will work, you will just need to give it a try.
It is a 2015 controller (and drivers) so just bear that in mind.

That's exactly my problem, the equipment and especially the size of the controller is tailor-made for my use. I do family motto and oldie parties. Everything kept small inserted in a case, quickly set up and dismantled.
I can't find anything suitable in this size at the moment! Therefore, I would like to continue using the part. I will have to deal with it more intensively!

I managed to switch to Windows 11 with the "old" Denon drivers without any problems. As far as I've tried so far, everything seems to be working! Unexpectedly, there were no error messages or crashes, everything ran smoothly!

Would suggest you do a prolonged test though, the issue I had is that the audio would just cut out after a time ( maybe an hour plus) but it was random. Assuming you're using the Denon ASIO drivers.

I tried and adjusted everything all day today, it ran for many hours. I heard a short "crack" once or twice, but thanks for the info, I'll try it out for a bit longer!

Another question, how do I get “Edit and Tab” back into the top tab where the title and artist are entered. I just can't find the setting anymore?[code][/code]

Thank you very much, sometimes you can't see the forest because of all the trees.

Usually, W10 drivers works on W11.
I used to have a MC4000 / W10 as well, but I can't remember if my PC was already on W11 before I switched to MCX8000, but this one works well on W11. I also plugged once a MC7000 and it was OK, some I'd be confident. Maybe you could shoot a try with some friends having a W11 laptop / desktop?
