Use 3CDaemon on Windows 11 only if:
Otherwise, migrate to tftpd64. It offers identical functionality (TFTP/FTP/Syslog), is open source, supports Windows 11 fully, and can run as a proper Windows service without the headaches. 3cdaemon windows 11
3CDaemon is a nostalgic workhorse, but on Windows 11 it requires manual workarounds and lacks service reliability. For occasional manual use (e.g., flashing a router from a laptop), it still works fine. For production or always-on logging, choose a modern alternative.
Running any legacy server software exposes risks. Protect your setup:
Cause: Some AV heuristics flag old installers.
Fix: Restore from quarantine and add the entire 3CDaemon folder to the AV exclusion list. For Windows Defender, go to Virus & threat protection → Manage settings → Exclusions → Add folder.
