HI ALL! Finally it worked after complete reinstall
Tikz circuitikz pgfplots from ctan, updated LMTX to latest 2021.12.10 And replaced m-tikz.mkxl and m-circuitikz.mkxl with the attached files from Hans.
test2.log
Description: Binary data
Fingers crossed and praying and impressive help from Hans and Aditya
Many thanks
Sincerely
Jan-Erik
