I upgraded to windows 11, I reinstalled encrypt, I picked what I thought to be the right compatibility 2017.09 but the program freezes while trying to decrypt file. I even checked my backup encrypted file and the same result. I tested a new file to encrypt and decrypt and it worked fine.
Any ideas? Is there a way to check which version the file was made with?

You shouldn't need to select the compatibility when decrypting as it's done automatically. To see which version of encrypt was used you will need to view the contents of the file in a hex-editor or similar; the version is 16 bytes from the beginning. (You could use Notepad if you really wanted to, just make sure the file is opened with UTF-8 encoding and the version will be the first text that isn't gibberish.)
If there is no version information present then it's likely that the raw advanced option was set - if this is the case you will need to remember which algorithms were used.
