A little followup for Win 10 users. I hadde to roll back Windows, as I got the before mentioned issue when turning off on when Windows was running. Now everything is running fine again.
All the best.

You know what Ed? I cannot seem to find the release number / version on my Studio Pc 
I just went to the previous version / build via Settings, Recovery, Go back to an earlier build (did this last week). 
I am working tomorrow (it is night in Norway as I write, and I need some sleep), and will not be able to check more until tomorrow night after work. I am writing this on my laptop..
Will report back.
All the best.

Really good read guys, I have and use it's little brother control surface (FW1082) and have had no probs at all from XP, Vista to Win 7. All these O/S worked Fine with various Sonar platforms, now Platinum. Then the freebie Win 10 was too much of a pull ... so I upgraded .... work flow zero was the result! I'm afraid Win 10 is not for the fire wire user it seems, I tried to make it work and crashes with weird and odd things completely ruined my time in the studio ...so I reverted back to a fresh install of Win 7 and Sonar Platinum took a deep breath ... and all works fine. Windows 10 is a good big brother O/S but it's not for me, great on the laptop bad in the studio ...just saying is all!
 
My studio :- Win7 64bit 16GB, Tascam FW1082, Vx7, DX7, Tascam 688 (Analogue recording) and the rest is just showin' off)

Sorry for the late reply, Ed. I did not know how to find Win 10 build until yesterday. I am on build 10240.

All the best.

Resurrecting an old thread to say that I did a fresh install on my studio pc, with the latest Windows updates, SONAR updates, etc, and the FW 1884 is working better than ever before. Still used Tom's guide, and it all went without a hitch 
This is just to give an update for other FW 1884 users
All the best.

I am about to undergo this. Here goes the UPGRADE! :)
