I design a cylinder say 10mm diameter and it prints at 4.7mm diameter?

🤔Is this a gcode problem or caused by Win11. Never happened before March 1st, I'm a disabled Ozzy hobby person.

Win11 does not have anything to do with it. Most propably, this is a units and/or scaling issue. Maybe some presets in either the export settings, import settings or workspace settings of the print software have gone wrong. Did you possibly do a new install of one or more software components after upgrading to Win11?
Did you possibly set up new printer firmware? Then, the axis length vs. step count ratio may have been reset.
I'd check these one by one.

sounds awfully close to a mix up between radius and diameter.
Thanks all, no new software of any sort, will check the Export settings, I am not computer literate by any means, just a retired hobby CAD user from way back when…:)
Try exporting from OS as step instead of stl. step keep with it units between software packages, while stl sometimes has to guess. Most printers today accept step files.
