I managed to run Windows 11 on a phone

For a couple days i wanted to install windows 11 on my old phone cuz why not. Also, i did have experience in running linux distro (postmarket os) on my different phone so i thought it will be not more difficult than that. I was mistaken.. it took me around 8 hrs of trying and finding tools and files that could work on my device (Mi POCO X3 pro). But finally, after 3 attempts i managed to get it running pretty smooth. Only thing, touchscreen it kinda messed up and inverted by half.. so if you guys have any solution, l'd appreciate if you share it.

    The BFE is a critical Windows service that manages firewall and network filtering.

    Malware can disable or tamper with it, causing firewall failures or being grayed out.

    Using tools like PsTools (from Sysinternals Suite) can sometimes help manually re-enable or repair services, but caution is advised.

    Since you installed Windows 11 manually, some hardware-specific tweaks might be needed. Search for community forums or XDA Developers threads related to Windows 11 on your device model; others might have faced and fixed similar issues.
