    Hi John, under Win 11, you need to turn off core isolation to use DAX.

    Hello, it's january 2026 and I can't fully use my FlexRadio due to DAX issues with Windows 11 25 H2. Is there finally a solution? I'm ready to sell my FlexRadio and switch to something else.My ticket was closed without any solution. I am very disappointed.

    Many run DAX on Windows 11, and fact, that is our support level. I have 5 computer running on Windows 11 with DAX working just fine.

    Can you elaborate a bit more?

    I performed the manual installation of the DAX drivers…working just fine now…

    I did as asked above, reloaded SDR, Slice-master, and continue with DAX error. How do I manually load DAX drivers?

    Hello, after doing everything FlexRadio support told me to do (ticket from the end of December), the problem remains the same ( see error message above) with my PC running Windows 11 25H2, whereas with the backup PC running Windows 11 23H2 there's no problem. Do you have any solutions? It's really frustrating not having DAX .

    After multiple uninstallations of DAX (directly from the directory) and just as many manual ones, I finally managed to install DAX.
    Yes!!! it is a miracle ?
