CAD package program is not displaying ater a recent update on Windows 10.

Hi Dean,



The above issue might occur due to the incompatibility of the application with Window s10 OS on the computer.



Before we assist further, does the issue occur only on accessing CAD package on the computer?



Some of the programs/applications may not be compatible after upgrading the computer to a new and higher operating system. If haven’t tried, check if similar issue occurs on accessing other applications installed on the computer.



If the issue does not occur on accessing other applications, I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall CAD package application and check if the issue is resolved. If the issue persists, install the application in
Compatibility mode by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.



Compatibility mode runs the program in the current version of Windows using the settings from previous version of Windows.



Step 1: Install the device drivers manually in
Compatibility mode.

• 
  Locate and right-click on the application setup file downloaded/saved on the computer and select
  Properties from the context menu.
  
• 
  Click on the compatibility tab, check the box
  Run this program in compatibility mode for, select Windows 8.1/7 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.
  
• 
  After the installation is complete, restart the computer and check if the changes are effective.
  

Step 2: You can also follow the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

• 
  Press Windows logo key on the keyboard and type
  Run programs made for previous versions of Windows.
  
• 
  Select the top most search result and follow from
  step 2 from the article Make older programs compatible with this version of
  Windows (Also applies to Windows 10).
  
• 
  Check if the changes are effective.
