@dmitshur: As you're already aware, Go 1.21 requires Windows 10 or newer. The fix for https://github.com/golang/go/issues/64413 which landed in Go 1.21.5 uses APIs that aren't available in Windows 7, so this is expected. It's possible to still use Go 1.20.12 which supports Windows 7.

Yes, we are using go1.21 which doesn't support Windows7. There's currently no build provided that does. You could try compiling the client with go1.20, but no guarantee.

I'm not a developer, but from what I can gather from this discussion, it seems like there's only one API change that broke Go on Windows 7. After reading the entire conversation, it looks like many of the main Go developers are open to make Go compatible with Windows 7 again. They're just waiting for a volunteer to handle it through proper channels.
