That would be yet another reason to complain about Windows 11 though, unfortunately.

The solution would be simply to add a warning as a temporary measure preferably in red text and in a way that would scare the average user. This warning should be accompanied by a call to action urging users to contact the device manufacturer and ask them to release a new driver. Then companies would have no choice but to either create a new driver that runs in user space or be constantly inundated with support requests from customers.

Unfortunately that doesn't work, when a warning sits between a user and the application they want to run, they will always say yes, and then someone has to clean all those browser toolbars.

Win 11 already invalidated quite a few relatively modern systems. As far as I know, it was an arbitrary threshold which has not materialized into an actual hardware requirement to run. As a joke, someone installed Win11 on a computer with a Pentium 4.
