DK 8.8 latest does not start on Win11

[Andrej Valencic]

It's the same as before (see attachment) - no obvious error indication 
that I could see.

This is what my systemrc contains::

[System]
useHighDpiScaling=true
useHighDpiPixmaps=true
disableOpenCL=true
enableLogging=true
enableFaceEngine=false
enableAesthetic=false
enableAutoTags=false
proxyUrl=
proxyPort=8080
proxyType=0
proxyAuth=false
softwareOpenGL=false
disableHWConv=false
videoBackend=ffmpeg
enableOpenCL=false
enableHWVideo=true
enableHWTConv=true
enableAITools=true
deleteOldDNNFiles=true
enableAIAutoTools=true
enableDnnOpenCL=false
dnnOpenCLTested=false
softwareOpenGL=true


Regards,
Andrej
