This issue was addressed in a mailing-list post on 17th February.  The problem was caused by a unilateral change, by Microsoft - in a Windows 11 update, to disable Legacy Console by default.

Here's the solution (thanks, Joe EI3GY) -

If the "Use legacy console" flag on the Properties / Options screen [as per
page 3 of the SD manual] is greyed out, you can install legacy console mode
by going to Windows -> Settings -> System -> Optional features -> Legacy
Console Host -> Add

Hi

I had cause to reinstall SD.
I'm working through setting the properties as described in page 3 of the
manual.
The problem is with the Options tab; I am unable to select Legacy Console
as this area is greyed out (see attached).
It informs me that the Legacy Console is not installed.
I can't see how to install it.

The Programs won't run correctly as is.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
