I remember when with the 34410A, you could plug that DMM into your PC on a USB port, fire up Excel, and had a toolbar where you could set up days of logging data straight into your excel sheet. It only needed something called IO libraries. It doesn't work anymore, because this would be too easy and useful, and you wouldn't download their software that somehow requires a license to use their 2000 EUR DMM.

Due to having to support older devices I can understand the current lack of Windows 11 compatibility.

I'd suggest running Windows 10 LTSC 1809 on a dedicated box or in a virtual machine for BenchVue and similar apps.  It has extended support until 2029.

I toyed with creating a Windows 10 VM to get around it. The office PC has plenty of grunt to do that.  It's just a faff, and I suspect they won't support anything virtual should help be needed.  Might give it a try.

office will complain  loll  but they worked on 32bit

but it relies on i/f with laboratory gear and their proprietary setting etc It does work for some but its given me problems (probably my fault) with my KS DMM - they dont want you straying outside their control.

Keysight DMMs use standard SCPI over GPIB, USBTMC, RS-232 or LAN. You don't need any specific software except drivers for GPIB and USBTMC, which on Windows generally means VISA. You can control them from pretty much any programming language that can talk GPIB / USBTMC / etc. If Test Controller is not working reliably, this probably means the commands or configuration (e.g. EOI for GPIB) are incorrect.

No one that uses these meters for anything remotely complex (say a setup of multiple instruments) uses BenchVue. They will all develop their own software in LabVIEW or some other programming language. Keysight provides support for this, like IVI/LabVIEW drivers. They would sell very few meters for automation if the only thing they supported was BenchVue.
