Daz Studio PostgreSQL error now always, did Windows 11 updates cause it?

On some weekends i take my USB 5Terabyte drive with Daz and my total content installed to my relatives so i can work on some daz stuff. I've been using it fine until about 4 weeks ago it started not working anymore. I'm getting this message saying "A Valid postgreSQL CMS could not be created" An dbasically i have no access to any of my content, i cannot even start CMS in Preferences/CMS.
Besides that, Plugins like MeasureMetrics that i have in my plugins directory don't even show up in the Window Menu/Panes.
And in this relative's coputer they have Windows 11. In my own home computer i have Windows 10( and can't even update to 11 cause my computer is too old) but this same drive with the same installation, if i open the daz on it and start it up works perfectly on my computer, no problems. Everything works.
I'm starting to think the Windows 11 updates did something that messed up something that Daz or PostgreSQL needs.
By the way i install everything manually in my windows content including postgreSQL some things threads i've seen talk about using DIM. I don't use DIM at all. I install everything manually. So i installed postgreSQL with the daz installer that was in the manual zip file. And everything was working for about a year in my relative's Windows 11 Pc until about 4 weeks ago when i started getting postgreSQL errors all of the sudden.
Can anything be done to fix this or is this the end of using the Daz in Windows 11? Cause there's no problems in my Windows 10 computer even using the Daz Studio and content in the same USB drive.

Can you still acess the content though the Content Library pane, under Daz Studio Formats?
No you can even see in the picture the DazStudio parent folder contains the MyDaz3DLibrary folder and it doesn't have any arrows to expand it to see all the children folder folders, which it usually did before. the 4 weeks i mentioned. And it's because at the start i get that error i posted in the picture and i also posted how in the settings CMS is not even started and you cannot start it.
i don't know but i even tried today reaching to Microsoft Chat support, they had no idea how to help me.
Because i told him that my daz studio in and content running fro the same drive works totally fine in my home Windows 10 computer, but that support person didn't help. He probably just knows about sales and stuff. He was just giving me canned answers probably copied from AI or something and i told him "No no...this doesn't sound like you're actually coming up with the answers. you're just copying them from somewhere" LOL. Then he changed his tune but i had to leave.
But anyways thanks for trying to help. Maybe theres no solution.
If so, then i'll just work on daz on my Win 10 computer and not bring my daz stuff to my relative's Win11 computer.
