Have those who are experiencing driver issues tried reinstalling drivers and such in compatibility mode?

I'm back in the game. The Steinberg UR44 interface is tied into the elicenser system just like an ilock. Why, I'll never understand. Maybe they think I'll make a pirate interface. At any rate, I went through the license process again and it unlocked the interface.

I checked my East West Symphonic Orchestra and Synthology's Ivory II programs, both worked fine...Ilok doesn't seem to want to work but it isn't stopping those two programs from working. Go figure.

So it's the same as any other windows release. I do have sympathy with MS as third party drivers issues is always the problem. I also have sympathy with third parties making the drivers who don't want to waste resources developing on a moving beta platform. Good news is it will all probably be OK in 3 to 6 months. It's just a waiting game mainly. Some will be lucky straight away others not so lucky.

Actually this release was more trouble free than any of their other releases. It went rather well for me as about 99% of everything worked fine on first try. I'm quite pleased with it. The speed of the Edge browser, the new Start button layout, the Start page, make it all worthwhile. You can customize the Start button's layout and man is that nice !!!

So far I had the UR44 problem and got it fixed. There was an issue with AD2 because it thought I had a new PC. Had to delete my desktop PC from my list of installs and then re-authorize it and now it seems 90%. There may still be some tweaks. All my Waves stuff is working ok as are all the Sonar plugs.
 
I can see why they gave it away for free. Win 10 is more like a huge shell than a PC O/S. Parts of it are designed for integration with mobile devices, parts are designed to make it a front end for the X-box and of course they installed a front end for their own media store. MS obviously wants to get ALL your business across ALL your platforms. Funny enough, I think they'll make more off of the free give away than any OS that came off the store shelf.
 
I'm finding the change between win 7 and win 10 to be much like the change between Sonar 8.5 and X3.

SONAR "Gloucester" has been fully tested with Window 10. It's available in Command Center today.

NVidia released Windows 10 drivers recently. I got the update today.

I know this is a Sonar forum, but has anyone have Cubase 8 x64 installed on their Win10 system? Steinberg gave a vague "performance and timing issues" reason as to why their users shouldn't update yet, but yet there's users saying that Cubase works fine on their personal Win10 systems.
 
I use Cubase just as much as Sonar, each has their own strengths.

Man, feel like I dodged a bullet.  I upgraded to Windows 10 today and lost interaction through my firewire port to my Saffire Pro 40.   The 1394 just acted like there was nothing there - no connect/disconnect indication, etc., even though the Saffire showed an active firewire connection (probably just a hardware thing, like an ethernet light).  In addition, my on-board audio (that runs my little PC surround sound speaker system) was not able to produce 5.1 surround - rear speakers would not work but front, center, and sub were good.
 
I played for hours with complete driver and app uninstalls, power-down, re-installs (for both the on-board audio as well as the firewire)... no joy.  I even tried the Windows 8/8.1 legacy 1394 OHCI for shizzengiggles - newp.  Even though Focusrite's website says the Saffire line is ready for Windows 10, my experience says otherwise.
 
The good news is, the roll back is super-quick - took about ten minutes - and everything is working well again.
It's a damned shame too, cuz I was liking a lot of what I was seeing in the interface (although some things are maddening - I felt like they were actually trying to hide the device manager "button" ... and I needed it a LOT).
 
Needless to say, I could/did not test how all my plugs would behave - I was too busy yelling in Python voice "RUN AWAY!  RUN AWAY!"
 
So it's Win 7 for me for a while until real support materializes.  Makes me laugh at the reports that MS is getting serious about audio... how about a little help on the firewire guys, and don't play the it's old tech card here... there's lots of installed base out there.  A serious race car has a rear view mirror.

Even my Pro Tools 10.3.2 works and that wasnt even supposed to work on Windows 8.
 
Really really good OS transition, probably the best yet.

The only thing for me right now that does not work in win 10, is the driver for my Roland A-500S Keyboard Controller.  So far every thing else works fine.

I take it the same goes for the A-800Pro ?
 
EDIT :
 
Although I looked just yesterday at Roland's W10 driver page, I didn't see the section on keyboards.  Looks like the 800, 500 and 300 are all under testing, which is good.
 
[It unfortunately doesn't look good for the A-500S...]

Good news about A300 etc. No news about octpad SPD30 but fingers crossed.

Only issue I've had so far is that my Alphatrack isn't working but it haven't done any troubleshooting yet.

Certainly the fastest upgrade I've ever done. I'll try the upgrade for a while until I get a list of what I want to reinstall and the ill do a fresh install.

I checked that the Roland drivers's page, and it shows the PCR-800 Pro under testing, but not the PCR 800. I guess I'll have to get a power supply, and Midi it up to my Quad Capture
