I'm sorry I can't offer any advice Chris, but it's obviously one of the many 'issues' with Win 11.

 

I haven't migrated to 11 yet, as my system won't take it.

In my experience, Windows has always had bit of a problem with RAW format. Especially with their built in viewer apps. It unsurprisingly seems to have carried over to their latest version. If you have the Adobe Photography Plan, my suggestion would be to forget about using Windows to view RAW format images and instead install Adobe Bridge. I've used it on both my Windows 7 workstation and my Windows 10 laptop and it works great.

 

Nikon's own software is also good for viewing (and editing) their RAW format files... hey, that's what it was created for.

 

There are other Windows apps that claim to be able to view Nikon (and other manufacturer's) RAW images files but some of them come with their own problems... such as changing all image file associations so that double clicking on an image file opens it in their app... and that I can be a mess to fix, in some cases even requiring registry editing. I would avoid them if at all possible.

 

I know it can be frustrating when things like this happen but fortunately, there are ways around these kind of problems.

i just use windows 11 photo to look at jpg to see what good or not. then take copy both of jpg and raw files. then use lightroom to do edits and crop. would like to see windows 11 photo able read files so i can see true data for photo's also ron not sure who i was able to get 1/1000 F/2.8 ISO 5000 on photo for softball game in overcast night and be dark out at 7pm east coast CFL area. when i get to them will see true photo. since have to use lightroom to see if good or bad.

I’ll second the suggestion to install Adobe Bridge since the license for it is included in the photography plan.  

 

It is easy to get used to using it to browse what you just imported, set colour tags and/or stars to select what to ingest into Lightroom, make copies of these files and then open the copies in LR. 
 

I use Photo Mechanic to do this, but Bridge works just as well if you have some other robust solution for keywording your photos. Lightroom is one such solution.
