F-Response and Windows 11 25H2+, Windows 2025 Server
Oct 01, 2026
It has come to our attention that the latest version of Windows 11 (25H2+) and Windows 2025 now no longer allow F-Response software drivers to load.
This was unexpected given prior history, but we're hard at work on figuring out the best path forward. Here's what this means today:
F-Response Classic (Tactical, Consultant, Consultant + Covert, Enterprise)
Examiner tools will no longer function properly on Windows 11 (25H2+) and Windows Server 2025. We recommend you stick to prior versions of Windows.
Subject tools will execute, but Physical Memory will no longer be an available target on Windows Server 2025 and Windows 11 (25H2+).
F-Response Universal
Examiner tools will no longer function properly on Windows 11 (25H2+) and Windows Server 2025. We recommend you stick to prior versions of Windows.
Subject tools will execute, but Physical Memory will no longer be an available target on Windows Server 2025 and Windows 11 (25H2+).
Universal Server will run fine on both Windows 11 (25H2+) and Windows Server 2025.
F-Response Collect
Examiner tools will continue to run fine as there is no kernel driver component in F-Response Collect.
Subject tools will execute, but Physical Memory will no longer be an available target on Windows Server 2025 and Windows 11 (25H2+).
Collect Server will run fine on both Windows 11 (25H2+) and Windows Server 2025.
We're working hard on the best solution to keep you functional going forward and will let you know more as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Warmest Regards,
Matt
