Windows 10: Embroidery Programs flashing

I have 2 laptops each with a different embroidery program installed on them. They both worked with Windows 7 just fine. I updated to windows 10 a couple of weeks ago after researching to make sure both programs would work with 10. Everything I read said they would. On both computers when I try to digitize the nodes are flashing so it slows down the digitizing and drives me nuts. I have changed the video card setting on both programs and still have the flashing. All other programs seems to work fine. I even uninstalled the embroidery program on this laptop and reinstalled it to see if it solved the problem and it has not. Any ideas of what I can look for to fix this. I have spent the last 3 days trying to get the embroidery programs to work with no luck. I contacted both programs and have not heard back from them. SO I am hoping someone had a similur problem.

Yes, upgrade the tablet to W10, you mention that you want to use it for your sewing machine embroidery, so before you upgrade try and confirm that the Embroidery program is compatible for W10, if it is a older program you may have difficulties.

If when, you do try to install the Embroidery program on W10, install with Admin rights & compatibility mode.

 

Hi, have you tried running them in compatibility mode?

 

I did before I posted and I just did it again to see. I still get the flashing. I am at a loss. The only thing I can do at this point is go back to 7 and I would really like to keep 10. Any other ideas?

 

Could you provide a URL for the programs?

Another possibility if all else fails is to run this in a virtualised OS running under Window 10.

 

The programs may need reinstalled (and possibly installed in a compatibility mode).
My wife has a Singer XL6000 Embroidery machine and the "Sew Ware" program supplied to transfer patterns to the XL6000 had to be installed in a compatibility mode and must be run in a compatibility mode.
