Control Game problem with steam and windows 11

[til 0]

I own the game, but under windows 11 the system does not let me install .NET 3.5 anymore. However, steam insists on it and does not let me run the game. I have found the following workaround from here: 

https://steamcommunity.com/app/870780/discussions/0/624416751011045452/

Go inside game folder, delete Control.exe, make a copy of Control_DX12 or Control_DX11 depending on your preference.

Rename the copy of Control_DX12/DX11 to Control.exe and start game from steam.

You can now play without Remedy spyware.

Starting the game from Control_DX12 is not enough, cause game has a check to see if Control.exe was run (contrary to inkus claims).

Installing .NET Framework 3.5 in 2025 is a security risk, so I hope that helps.

 

I think this should be noted in this wiki as well, however I have not edited there ever.

Is someone with experience willing to do this or should I just go ahead and try it myself?
