You are correct, the last cycle of development was focused for
windows 10.

I expect windows 11 to maintain some compatibility with windows
10 so the drivers should work to some extent but I did not test
it.

I'd not hope for further development on qxl unless there is
someone interested in investing time on it (and it would take
some time).

I'd instead switch to virtio-vga / virtio-gpu as this seems to
have an active community.
