I’m working on Windows 11, can’t download 5.6.2. It gets to about 15% and then stops. I get a message saying ‘can’t download because the source file cannot be read’. I have not used 3D slicer for a while, but the 4.10.2 version I used to use is crashing so I thought time to get the latest version. No luck. Currently can’t use at all.
