Research direction
Start by reproducing the boot failure on Windows 11 and inspect the PoB terminal output shown in the issue screenshot. The issue names no source file or test, so first capture the exact error text and relevant startup context. Done means Path of Building opens successfully after the underlying startup problem is identified and fixed.
