I am getting the following error - RTL-SDR Device #1 in use -
Can someone point me in the right direction.
This is a new install on Win11, worked perfectly on my old W10 machine

Would help if you stated where you're seeing the error (an app?) Has computer been restarted since first experiencing error?

I suspect it may be the batch file I'm using ??

start FMP24 -i1 -o20002 -f157.79 -b12.5 -P0 -q1 -g37.2 -_1 -wsl000.00
start DSDPlus -F1 -r1 -e -m1 -i20002 -OM NUL

And if you open your windows device manager, how many dongle does that show?

You could try changing your fmp24.bat to use the first available dongle instead of it looking for dongle 1 of the 2 fmp24 is seeing.

change,
start FMP24 -i1 -o20002 -f157.79 -b12.5 -P0 -q1 -g37.2 -_1 -wsl000.00

to this
start FMP24 -i0 -o20002 -f157.79 -b12.5 -P0 -q1 -g37.2 -_1 -wsl000.00

Options:
-i0 Use first available RTL SDR device [-i0]
-i<num> Use RTL SDR device specified by <num> (1-255)
