Hi to all,
I did take the move, basically because I have an old m-audio 1010lt interface which I was sure would not work. Boy was I wrong. Everything upgraded nicely. Win 10 must have pulled the win 7 drivers and accommodated for them. Here we go with a new learning curve. I did have to update some plugs, but all seem to be working now. Haven't done extensive testing, but all appears to be good. Some older projects had to be located, but that was probably due to ' pilot error ' in the first place. I have the home edition, but usually disable internet in device manager when using studio. Win 10 seems to be on the road to apple with more social networking. I like the new way it displays all sonar work(OK, most of it) in what used to be the lower left bullet button. Now a window that opens a lot categories for easy access. I am happy so far.

I have been on Win 10 from the beginning. No problems with it at all.

Billy Buck - looking forward to hearing how you fared w/ UAD and iLok...



 
Hey Greg, I had the exact same situation "No Devices Found" happen to me after installing "TB2". 
 
I went ahead and installed the latest so-called "TH2" Win 10 update that was released this week and it hosed my working UAD/Apollo system. After the Win update and requisite re-boot the UAD Control Panel shows "No Devices Found" (I have two internal PCIe cards and an Apollo Quad via Thunderbolt). No amount of uninstalling/re-installing the UAD software (I did it 4 times over two hours) will bring the UAD cards and Apollo back. Curiously, everytime I installed the UAD/Apollo software I would get a Microsoft pop-up dialog (see yellow circle in screen capture) stating that I need to do a "required" re-boot.
FYI, I have installed literally hundreds of UAD updates over the past (12) years (since 2003) using Win XP, Win 7, Win 8, Win 8.1 and even Win 10 until this latest "TH2" update and have never encountered an MS install dialog "during" a UAD software install. So after I do the MS required re-boot, the UAD devices are no longer found by the UAD software. It is almost like the UAD install triggers some nefarious MS activity that disables the UAD devices. After (4) separate attempts of uninstalling/re-installing the UAD software and getting the same MS pop dialog and subsequent "No Devices Found" each time I re-boot, I gave up and reverted back to the previous MS Win 10 build I had, before I installed "TH2". As soon as I re-booted from the Win 10 Recovery mode (great Win 10 feature by the way), all of my internal UAD PCIe cards and Apollo connected via TB showed back up and started working as expected.
 
I'll be staying with my working pre-TH2 Win 10 build for now.

Firstly I'm sorry you got bit by the same issue,


Secondly I thank you for validating my experience.


I also rolled back the build to my previously working W10 and will keep an eye out for comments from Universal Audio.


Btw - did you have any ilok issues (if you use any ilok plugs) ?

No iLok issues here, Spaces and UltraChannel seem pleased with themselves and the iLok license manager runs fine. Only issue I had was my consumer soundcard getting fussy, but that was kinda to be expected as it is not supported in Windows 10 and required a bit of modded drivers to work right. The pro card (Focusrite) hasn't complained.
 
I haven't tested things extensively, but Sonar loads and plays projects as normal and the couple games I've tried run without issue.

Hi,Iv'e been dealing with a WD 4TB Elements drive gone RAW/uninitialized,I stupidly trusted as my 1T
B My Book Essentials has been flawless,but no almost 3 months now Iv'e been battling,with every known tool/device to get 4 .5 years of projects I very unfortunately transferred[which i was then going to transfer only the most recent back to the C: drive which is what I use for everything],as this W540 [Win 7 Pro]only has 500GB 7,200rpm drive,so I haven't even thought about Win 10 free,especially after reading this [So sorry Uncle Albert wrong page/language 1'st time so https://business.kaspersk...-10-data-control/4318/

That is more for Computers section, but the first question is where the problem with this disk is. The number of variants is limited:
1) just temporary software failure (easy to solve)
2) SATA<->USB part has problems (easy to solve)
3) SATA controller (on disk) has problems (normally hard/impossible to solve without pro service, but sometimes possible)
4) some part of the disk has electrical/mechanical problems (usually possible to recover undamaged part)
5) the disk is completely broken (impossible to solve without pro service, in most cases impossible to solve at all).
 
Any computer specialist can find the answer on this question within 10-60 minutes, assuming he/she has physical access to that disk and you agree to void the warranty for it (after checking (1), the second operation will be removing the disk from the enclosure).

I had a problem on one of my other machines, running Windows 10, with the iLok service not running with the consequence of my iLok plugs would not run.  I contacted iLok support and they suggested that I change the iLok start-up to delayed in Windows config start-up.  This cured the problem.

Ah - didn't know there was a "delayed" setting.


Thx.

I had loaded up a previous project with iLok 2 plug-ins (many Slate VCC instances) without any issues. I did however update to the most recent  iLok version a week or two ago.
 
Cheers,
