Says "Version 1511". Maybe that's what it was doing yesterday when it took 10 minutes to start up. 
 
2,048 tiles! Woo hoo! I can make my Start menu look just like Metro!


That is the latest version. The build should read 10586. To find this go to settings/system and about.

I've noticed that this update rewrites some of your personal settings so be sure and go through them after you get this update.

Mine is 10586.11 to be precise...

Okay I'm installing Win 10 for the third time. It's likely changing my ADK custom install setup...so is there a good guide on how best to setup Windows for Sonar? How do I set Defender to ignore my Presonus 44VSL and Sonar Platinum ?

try adding exceptions for your DAW and audio control software to Windows Defender.



Steve, I can't find a place to do that.
 
I go to control panel -> system and security -> security and maintenance, and I see "Windows Defender is helping to protect your PC" - but no "change settings" option like there is for UAC and SmartScreen. I click on "change security and maintenance settings" and all I get are checkboxes to enable system messages.
 
I'm pretty sure I previously had antivirus exceptions for SONAR, VSTs and sample libraries under 8.1, and I'm positive I had them when I was on XP.
 
Maybe this is a "Home" limitation?
 
[EDIT]
Never mind, I found it. Had to go through the Settings tile on the Start menu rather than Control Panel (old habits die hard). I added exclusions for my sample library folder as well as \program files\cakewalk, sonarpdr.exe, and a general exclusion for wave files.

I have never bothered excluding anything from MS's AV. It hasn't been a problem for me. This goes back to Vista.

I have never had a problem with MS Defender either. Always leave it on for all my installs.

Again...Windows 10 was working fine this morning, and now SONARPLT.exe has stopped working.
This is the third time I've tried Windows 10. Looks like it may be the 3rd time I go back to Windows 7.
Any ideas to try? (I have reinstalled the latest Sonar twice).

Are you running the program as "Administrator" Clint?

I've had no issues whatsoever with Sonar, Pro Tools, Reaper,
or any of my stand alones...or installers...

I have no problems with MIxbus 2.5 or 3.0. I wasn't having any problems this morning with Sonar. The second time I tried Win 10 I had problems with the Windows firewall blocking my Presonus 44VSL. Windows 10 doesn't like me.
