>Please find attacned the two files, enable.log and service.log.

Neither log shows brltty actually trying to access a braille device. I'm seeing something new in the one that should be, i.e. missing handling for SERVICE_CONTROL_INTERROGATE. No idea why that should be supported (as Windows itself ought to already know the service's state) but, maybe, something in Windows 11 is making that necessary. This'll take soem research, though, as programming for Windows doesn't come "naturally" to me and, as far as I can tell, there's no way within brltty's current service control handler to return the service's current state.

>It seems that the settings in etc/brltty.conf is read.

Yes, indeed it does so brltty.conf must be in the right place.
