Hello
I tried to install Sonic-Pi-for-Win-x64-v4-6-0.msi on a Windows 11 laptop with an AMD Ryzen 7 processor and it can’t launch.
The Windows 11 laptop says there is a Boot Error and it cannot connect to a Ruby server.
I switched off the Windows Firewall Defender, ran the software as Administrator, restarted the laptop several times, repaired the software installation but that didn’t help.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kind regards
Imer
