Whats funny about this thread title is it says ‘previous’

Windows 10 may 2004 update now says cubase 10 is incompatible and the windows application compatibility troubleshooter applies windows 8 compatibility settings.

Doesn’t surprise me one bit.
All these users on previous posts saying we’re living in archive world and need to upgrade our technology to be able to experience new features and acquire the stability of W10 and CB 10. Ok, I went with that. These genius upgrades now bluescreen every other time I close CB and sometimes during a session. One of the times it set all my preferences back to factory specs.
I’ve been rock solid from W98 through Millenium, XP, Vista and W7. I’ve had no problems with CB from VST to 9.5. If this “10” show is someone’s idea of rock solid, I don’t want that technology. I’ve already backed off to CB 9.5 to get some sense of stability.
I’m not afraid of advancing technology. I am pretty much a geek and build my own computers. The one I use for my studio is quite capable and runs all the stress tests I’ve thrown at it. All I use it for is audio. I even do video editing on another 'puter.
I’ve had W10 for a few years but didn’t install it for various reasons. This all just confirms my instincts.

In the defence of win10 i would say for me it has been a welcome OS platform and one in which i am happy and yes, even prefer to Macos which i still use (and is not without it’s huge update troubles now and then)

What i am more troubled by is areas of Cubase Code that has not been adressed for windows 10. An spplication coded for windows10 should not really be having compatibility issues (Weird GUI errors on some parts of the program). For cubase 10 to be downgraded for windows 8 compatibility shows to me more of an issue with Cubase coding than Windows 10.

Having said all this the may 2004 windows update has been full of issues that Microsoft are frantically trying to address for roll out.

What bothers me, is that i upgraded from 8.5 to Cubase 10 to run on windowsv10 for continued professional use and now it shows as no longer compatible with win10 (may 2004 version) as well as C10 supposedly being at end of life regarding updates.

No official word from Steinberg about 2004 who list 1909 as last supported version…

If Steinberg really are no longer supporting old windows versions…at least support the new ones for versions listed as built for them that being c10/10.5 to run with full compatibility with Win10.

Rant over.
