Windows 11 is a great operating system, but it doesn’t come with everything that users might need. Some people might not be able to meet the system requirements that are set out for them, and this can lead to problems. One way to avoid these problems is to hide the system requirements not met on Windows 11. This will make it easier for users to find what they need and will also help them get the most out of their computer. To do this, you first need to create a new file called “Requirements.txt”. This file will list all of the systems that Windows 11 requires, as well as any specific requirements that are needed for each one. Next, you need to add this file to your “C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming.microsoft.windows\system32” folder. Once this is done, you can start Windows 11 and it will automatically check for the Requirements.txt file and add any required systems into the correct folders. If you have any problems meeting system requirements on Windows 11, then you can always try using another operating system or software instead. However, if you want to make sure that your computer is up-to-date and meets all of the latest standards, then hiding system requirements not met on Windows 11 may be a good solution for you!
It is possible to disable the message with a registry hack. You can do it manually with Regedit, or you can use the registry keys we’ve provided.

Disable “System Requirements Not Met” Using Regedit
Disabling the “System Requirements Not Met” message using the Registry Editor is pretty straightforward. Click the Start button, type “regedit” into the search bar, and then hit Enter or click “Open.”
The key is located at: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\UnsupportedHardwareNotificationCache
Navigate there or paste the path into the address bar.
There should be a DWORD value named SV2. Right-click it and click “Modify,” or double-click it to open the editor.
Change the value from “1” to “0”, and then click “Ok.”
If the key doesn’t exist, you’ll need to create it. Right-click “Control Panel,” go to “Add,” and then click “Key.” You need to name the key UnsupportedHardwareNotificationCache.
Once you create the key, you need to add a DWORD value. Right-click “UnsupportedHardwareNotificationCache,” mouseover “New,” and then click “DWORD (32-bit) Value.”
Name the new entry “SV2”, and set the value to “0”.
You may need to restart Explorer.exe or your computer for the changes to take effect.

The hardware requirements for Windows 11 have been a bit of a moving target since Windows 11 was released. If the message should suddenly return after a Windows update, try disabling it just like we did here. It is possible that future updates will render this method irrelevant or ineffective, so if it stops working, it probably isn’t your fault.
