Windows 10: Silverlight End of Support

1 Can I check for SDK Silverlight and Silverlight development tools installers, will all these be removed as well?

2 If we retain the existing old installers, can we still use these installers to install on a new windows server/machine?

3 Apart from security patches that will be discontinued and installers will no longer be made available on microsoft sites, are we still able to continue with development work using Silverlight SDK and toolkit for .xap files compilation?

4 Will silverlight applications go down completely? If there is a browser update to IE 12 for example, will Silverlight becomes incompatible?

:)

Microsoft Silverlight enabled but not working

Thanks for the suggestion Charles. I implemented those steps and now Firefox is prompting me to install Silverlight even though it is already downloaded. IE still showing me Silverlight is enabled but it is still not playing any video.

 

Corrupt Silverlight

Hi Chris,

This could be a compatibility issue between Silverlight and Internet Explorer. We would suggest checking the post of Anil Kumar B from this

thread to see the steps that you can do to possibly resolve your concern. If the issue persists, we recommend posting that through the MSDN forums for proper support which you can easily reach by clicking this

Regards.
