I am facing an issue using Rootkit Revealer on my Windows 11. After downloading the kit from the Microsoft website, after I extracted all the files, I tried to launch the executable file as an administrator. However, it is refusing to launch.

    Rootkit Revealer is for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (both 32 bit).

    So it working on Windows 11 would be no.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    Rootkit Revealer is an older tool that was designed for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with Windows 11. This is likely why you are experiencing issues when trying to launch it.
