<h1>Inkscape on Windows 11 — Install, Setup & Fixes</h1>
<p>Inkscape 1.4.4 runs fully on Windows 11. Covers installation, HiDPI display scaling, HAGS GPU acceleration, hybrid GPU laptops and fixes for common Windows 11 issues.</p></section>
<div class="card card-blue"><h2>Does Inkscape work on Windows 11?</h2>
<p>Yes — Inkscape 1.4.4 is fully compatible with Windows 11. The same 64-bit MSI works on both Windows 10 and 11. No separate build needed.</p>
<div class="tip"><a href="download.html">Download the MSI</a> → Run as Administrator → first launch takes 15-30s (font cache init).</div></div>
<div class="card"><h2>HiDPI / 4K display scaling</h2>
<p>Windows 11 often defaults to 125% or 150% scaling — non-integer values cause blurry Inkscape UI.</p>
<ul>
<li>Set Windows scaling to <strong>100%</strong> or <strong>200%</strong></li>
<li>Inkscape: <strong>Edit → Preferences → Interface → User interface scaling</strong> — match your DPI</li>
</ul>
<h3>Override DPI handling</h3>
<p>Right-click <span class="ic">inkscape.exe</span> → Properties → Compatibility → Change high DPI settings → Override: <em>Application</em>.</p></div>
<div class="card"><h2>GPU acceleration on Windows 11</h2>
<p>All Windows 11 GPUs (DirectX 12) support Inkscape OpenGL. Enable Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling:</p>
<p><strong>Settings → Display → Graphics → Change default graphics settings → HAGS: On</strong></p>
<h3>Hybrid GPU (Optimus laptop)</h3>
<p>NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings → Program Settings → inkscape.exe → High Performance GPU.</p></div>
<div class="card"><h2>Common Windows 11 issues</h2>
<h3>UI fonts too small</h3><p>Edit → Preferences → Interface → UI scaling → set 1.5 or 2.0.</p>
<h3>.svg files not opening in Inkscape</h3><p>Right-click any .svg → Open with → Inkscape → Always use this app.</p>
<h3>Stylus/pen support</h3><p>Edit → Preferences → Input Devices. Requires WinTab driver (Wacom, XP-Pen, Huion).</p></div>
<div class="cta-box"><h2>Download for Windows 11</h2><p>Official MSI — works on both Windows 10 and 11.</p>
