When I log in to Windows 11 using the administor account, a clean install of appflowy to open the local session mode does the same thing, can't read the data

Please try

Locate the data folder: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\AppFlowy.io\AppFlowy\data
In the data folder, there should exist a folder named "AppFlowyDoNotRename"
Copy the folder and paste it into a secure local location, or compress it into a zip file and email the zip file to yourself for safekeeping.
Delete the folder
Restart AppFlowy to see if it's successfully opened.
Unzip your backup folder
Go to Settings --> Files --> Import your backup folder
