Autocom 2020.23 Windows 11 ((free))

Getting Autocom 2020.23 (or Delphi 2020.23) to run smoothly on Windows 11 can be tricky due to updated security protocols, but it is definitely possible. If you’re looking to get your diagnostics back up and running, follow this checklist! Key Requirements: OS: Windows 11 (64-bit). Hardware: Autocom/Delphi VCI (Single or Double PCB). Software: Autocom 2020.23 installer files. Installation Steps:

Disable Windows Defender: Windows 11 is very aggressive with "Unrecognized Apps." Temporarily disable Real-time protection and Cloud-delivered protection before extracting the files, or the activator/keygen will likely be deleted.

Install Essential Runtimes: Ensure you have .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 enabled. You can find these in "Turn Windows features on or off."

Driver Setup: If your VCI isn't recognized, manually update the driver in Device Manager. Point it to the Drivers folder within your Autocom installation directory.

Compatibility Mode: Right-click the Main.exe, go to Properties > Compatibility, and set it to run as Administrator. Some users find setting it to "Windows 7 Compatibility Mode" solves "Start" crashes.

Activation: Run the software, save the FileActivation.xml, and use your keygen (or send it to your provider) to activate. ⚠️ Quick Tips for Windows 11:

Firmware: If you get a "Communication Error," try updating the firmware within the software settings while connected to a 12V power source (car).

Exclusions: Add the entire Autocom folder to your Antivirus Exclusions list so it doesn't get quarantined later.

To get Autocom 2020.23 running on Windows 11, you generally have two main paths: a native installation or using a virtual machine (VM). While the official Autocom manual states compatibility with Windows 11, many users find that older versions like 2020.23 are more stable when run inside a dedicated environment. Option 1: Native Installation (Direct Setup)

This method installs the software directly onto your Windows 11 system.

Preparation: Disable your antivirus and Windows Defender temporarily, as they often flag the necessary keygen or patch files as false positives.

Run Installer: Launch the setup file. If prompted for a password during extraction or setup, try "ThankYou".

Prerequisites: Allow the installer to add necessary components like SQL Compact and drivers. Activation: Open the "Cars" or "Trucks" application after installation.

Select "Export FileActivation" and save the XML file to your desktop.

This file must be sent to your supplier or run through a separate activator tool to generate a response file for final activation. Option 2: Virtual Machine (Recommended for Stability) Getting Autocom 2020

Using a VM is often easier because the software comes pre-activated and pre-configured in a virtual "container."

Software: Download and install VMware Workstation Player (version 16 or 17).

BIOS Setting: Ensure Virtualization is enabled in your computer’s BIOS settings.

Loading: Unzip your Autocom VM package and open the .vmx file within VMware.

Startup: When prompted, select "I Moved It" to keep the pre-existing activation valid. Common Windows 11 Issues

Version Conflicts: Users on Windows 11 version 22H2 have reported the program running in the background without displaying a window. Some find better success on version 21H2 or earlier.

Updates: Specific Windows updates (like KB5011048) can sometimes block the software from launching. You may need to hide or uninstall these specific updates if the program fails to open.

Hardware Setup: Connect your VCI (interface) via USB. In the software, go to Settings > Hardware Setup and perform a firmware update to ensure the interface is recognized. Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features

3.2. Enable .NET Framework 3.5

Autocom relies heavily on legacy .NET libraries.

Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features.
Click Turn Windows features on or off.
Check the box for .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0).
Allow Windows to download necessary files.

Part 5: Common Windows 11 Issues and Fixes

3.1 System Requirements

Windows 11 Pro or Enterprise (recommended – gives you Group Policy control).
Windows 11 Home can work but requires extra steps.
4GB RAM minimum (8GB recommended).
20GB free disk space (SSD strongly preferred).
Dedicated USB 2.0 port (avoid USB 3.0 or hubs if possible).

4. Installation Procedure (Step-by-Step)

Part 1: Understanding Autocom 2020.23 – What Makes It Special?

Before diving into Windows 11 specifics, let's clarify what Autocom 2020.23 is and isn't.

Software Version: 2020.23 is a diagnostic software suite for Cars, Trucks (Autocom TCS), and Bikes (Autocom Moto).
Vehicle Coverage: Up to late 2019 / early 2020 models (e.g., Ford MY2020, Volvo SPA platform partially supported, Jaguar I-Pace limited).
Typical Hardware: Most users pair this software with a Delphi DS150E clone (CDP+ or older blue/black units) or a genuine Autocom CDP+ interface.
Key Features: Full system scanning, live data, actuations, coding, service reset (oil, brakes, steering angle), and some specialized functions like DPF regen.

Why 2020.23 specifically? Newer versions (2021, 2022) introduced stricter license checks and struggled with clone hardware. Version 2020.23 is the last widely "friendly" release for aftermarket interfaces while still providing modern vehicle support.

Final Warning

Autocom 2020.23 is considered "abandoned" (no official updates since late 2020). Windows 11 is a moving target. For reliable diagnostics on Windows 11, consider moving to Autocom 2023+ (Delphi Technologies) or a web-based solution. Using 2020.23 on Windows 11 is a hack, not a solution.
