I know a lot of you use JMRI, so maybe I can get some help installing. I have Windows 11 on my laptop. Downloaded the JMRI version for Windows, when I go to open JMRI it will not open. What am i doing wrong and can anyone help me?

From the JMRI website.

Using Java with JMRI​

We recommend using Java 17 with current JMRI versions starting with JMRI 5.9.1. Although Java 11 will work, we recommend that you install Java 17 as it's more up to date.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU REMOVE OLD VERSIONS OF JAVA BEFORE YOU UPGRADE. This avoids a number of reported problems.

So I'm guessing your version of Java is an old one.

Uninstall your version and use this link for a fresh install of Java.

I have a question, would JMRI be too much for just a switching layout with 4-5 industries or locations to spot cars?

Looking for something to make switch lists and keep track of cars, locos, industries, that sort of thing. JMRI to much of a program for this?

I love JMRI OPS. I have a larger layout but I suspect it would be a good way to move cars around a switching layout, especially if you have some kind off layout "staging" would be my guess.
