I appreciate that this has been marked as resolved as a duplicate of bug
510312. However, I do now have a workaround that works for me in Windows 11
that does not affect anything else on the machine. As I know it is a workaround
for the issues I reported here, I feel more confident in reporting the
workaround here.

It is a very simple, one might say blinding obvious, workaround that I could
have tried before reporting this issue.

The workaround that worked for me, without affecting anything else on the
Windows 11 machine, was to to run kmymoney 5.2.1 in “Compatibility” mode.
Windows 11 does not have a “Windows 10” “Compatibility mode, but it does have
“Windows 7” and “Windows 8” compatibility modes. Both the “Windows 7” and
“Windows 8” compatibility solved the issues I was observing.
I applied these compatibility modes on the kmymoney Windows “start menu”
shortcut.

One other setting had to be altered to enable this. By default in Windows 11
the “Start in:” location on the kmymoney shortcut was {workingDirectory}. I am
guessing this syntax is Windows 11 specific, as it is apparently not valid in
compatibility mode. I changed the “Start in:” location to the kmymoney
installation location.

I have not extensively using the program with this workaround in place to know
if there are any other unwanted side effects.
I will attach a pdf with screenshots showing exactly what I did, in case there
is any confusion.
