I frequently encounter crashes when using FlexColor software. When I searched online, several responses from 2020 stated that since this software stopped updating in 2017 and was developed for Windows 7 and 8, it requires the installation of a 1394 driver on Windows 10 for normal use. I think I am encountering such an issue, but I found that Microsoft does not provide a 1394 driver for Windows 11, only for Windows 10

I have a question: Where can I find the 1394 driver for Windows 11? And is the 1394 driver for Windows 10 compatible with Windows 11?

    Windows 11 does not have a separate Microsoft-provided IEEE 1394 (FireWire) legacy driver package like the one that was released for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. The available Microsoft articles and hotfixes for 1394/FireWire drivers apply only to:

    • Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2 (IEEE 1394 bus driver hotfix)
    • Windows 8 / 8.1 (stand-alone legacy 1394 driver package to restore 1394bus.sys and Ochi1394.sys)

    There is no corresponding package documented for Windows 11 in the provided material.

    The documents also do not state that the Windows 10 1394 driver package is supported or compatible on Windows 11, and there is no guidance indicating that it should be installed on Windows 11. Only in-place use on the operating systems it was released for (Windows 8/8.1, and earlier Windows 7 hotfixes) is described.

    For Windows 11, the only driver guidance in the context is to obtain hardware drivers via Windows Update or from the device/hardware manufacturer. If a 1394 controller or device requires a specific legacy driver, that driver must come from the hardware or software vendor with explicit Windows 11 support.
