I just upgraded to Windows 11 and now when I try and open the blue iris app I get "Blue Iris service failed to start"
Not sure where to start if I can't even get the program open.

Don't be in a rush about being on the bleeding edge. There are reports of BI having issues with win 11. Blue Iris should be ran on a dedicated computer for only blue iris, so there's no reason to so-called upgrade to Windows 11. There is nothing in Windows 11 that blue iris needs.
If you Left click on the windows logo then apps and features you we'll see a list of computer programs installed on your system. Select the hamburger menu to the right of Blue Iris which gives you the option to modify or uninstall, choose modify, then repair. Once the repair is completed you'll be able to start Blue Iris manually. From what I can tell all of your settings except running Blue Iris as a Windows service is still intact.
Something to try, before uninstall/reinstall of BI
Ensure all Win11 updates have been installed
Stop BI service in Service Manager.
Run BI
Turn off "run BI as a service"
Reboot
Run BI
Turn on "Run BI as a service"
My Win10 to Win11 upgrade completed without any problems. Been running several months without any issues.

Your running the service under the Local System account? A long while back it was recommended to switch over and run the BI account using the account credentials of the local admin account that was used to perform the actual install of BI.
So give that a try to see if it behaves better.

I had this issue after reinstalling Blue Iris and have been reading through some of the threads about this. I just wanted to throw in what fixed my issue after spending hours on this.
I went to "Local Security Policy - Local Policies -User Rights Assignment - Log on as a service" and right clicked properties. My login that I've used for ages was not there so I clicked on Add User or Group and added my login. After that I was able to go to BI startup - Run as a Windows service and THIS time it actually worked. If you have this issue and have tried and failed give this a shot and let us know if it works for you.
