Well it's official January 2026 Autodesk Fusion 360 will no longer support Windows 10 . Either switch
to Windows 11 or you can no longer use fusion 360.

 I am not surprised by their statement just disappointed. Windows 11 has been a train wreck for anyone
who remotely values their privacy and/or security. Then you have Autodesk that has been following the
same mindset. They store all your file's on there servers. You may work off line for short periods of time
but you still will have to log in after a period of time. Like many big companies you can no longer buy
their programs, you can only lease them.

  Again this isn't a surprise. I like many others are learning or already using FreeCAD or similar on the daily
I doubt what I do will really hurt Autodesk's bottom line. That said . I am curious what the shift will truly be.
I am sure many are sick and tired of the "You will own nothing and be happy" corporate mind set.

  I am going FreeCAD. How about everyone else what are you using or switching over too?


 

Pinned.
Thank you.

It took me quite a bit longer than I expected to find this behavior change.

At least I know who to blame for why my keyboard jogging wasn't working now that I updated QtPyVCP/Probe Basic.

I don't think it's a bad change, I just wish it made it into documentation somewhere as I spent a couple hours trying to figure this out - or alternatively it was an explicit disable instead of an explicit enable as it removes existing functionality.
