Possibly not. A Windows update may have screwed with the security 
settings.

My Windows 11 PC connects quite happily to my Pi5 and my Pi4 based RISC OS 
device.

Fairly (!) simple to check on Windows 11:

1. Go to Control Panel
2. Open Network and Sharing Centre
3. In the left column, click on Changed Advanced Sharing settings
4. Make sure firstly that sharing is enabled
5. Expand the All Networks section

I have the Encryption set to 40- or 56-bit, but Windows may have defaulted 
to 128-bit. I don't know enough about older Pis as per the OP, but it's 
probably worth exploring the above settings on the Windows side.
