I haven't tested OSPRay on Windows 11. OSPRay is developed by Intel, so
Windows 11 compatibility is "out of my hands", but I expect that the
latest revs of OSPRay (2.x) will likely work. There is probably also a
way to make OSPRay 1.x work on Windows 11, but I honestly haven't had an
opportunity to try Windows 11 yet myself. Given that people have recently
reported trouble there though, I will plan to do that when I get out from
under the crunch before Supercomputing 2022...

Best,
  John
