I use the Freefilesync donation version. After years of messing with Robocopy, FreeFileSync is a godsend. I expect to move to Windows 11. Any Issues anticipated? I use this in overnight batch files to copy and backup loads of data.

Probably not, Windows 11 is not much different than Windows 10 as far as programs and permissions go. Can't know until Windows 11 officially releases though, or try a preview copy

I have upgraded to Windows11. FreeFileSunc has issues. When I now try syncing from PC to PC I get the message
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED: Access is denied. [DirReaderPlus]
or in other cases
ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED: The requested operation requires elevation. [AdjustTokenPrivileges(SeSecurityPrivilege)]
"Fail-Safe file copy" is ticked YES and "Copy Locked Files" is also ticked YES
However, copying to Google Drive for the SAME files works fine!
Confused as to what to do.

Just upgraded to Version 12.2, and now noticed also the same behaviour.
It works perfect on Windows 10.
With exactly the same hardware it gives following errors:
ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD: Een van de vereiste bevoegdheden is niet aan de client toegekend. [GetFileSecurity]
20:07:45 Fout Kan de aangegeven machtigingen van "\\**.pptx" niet lezen.
ERROR_ELEVATION_REQUIRED: U hebt niet de benodigde bevoegdheden voor deze bewerking. [AdjustTokenPrivileges(SeSecurityPrivilege)]
It did work correctly on previous versions.
I think an update needs to be done regarding handling the fileattributes in Windows 11.

Tools - Options
Turn off: Copy DACL, SACL, OWNER, GROUP while still logged in with Admin rights did continue the sync.
Before this option was never needed, and now new to me.

It also seems to be related to this topic, that also handles an issue around file attributes/security on files.

Windows 10/11 file copy system? Version issue? Bug? Conflicting combination with current version FFS?

I have FFS running on both 10 and 11. I use the same external ssd drive to backup/sync both types of PC's and thus far encountered no file system or OS errors or incompatibilities.
Are you copying/syncing from one OS to the other via the network perhaps?
Sometimes I use SFTP to access/sync from one PC to the other, or use the external drive attached to another computer. I run SSH server for Windows to do this.
