Windows 10: WIndows 10 2004

I have had a number of successful applications that have been running for my customers for over 10 years that were built using SWF Studio from Northcode. Northcode is no longer in business and I believe the primary programmer died this year - so there is no possibility of getting help there. SWF Studio embeds Flash.ocx. It stopped working for Windows 10 1803 but the author of SWF Studio provided a new version that got us past the issue. The current result with 2004 is the same as it was with 1803 before the fix - the program does absolutely nothing. It shows in the `Task Manager but is somehow blocked from doing anything. No message from Microsoft is provided.


Northcode in the latest version provided a way for us to choose the OCX to be embedded.


Here are my questions:


Why is the program being blocked?


Is there a version of Flash.ocx that when embedded will work with Windows 10 -2004? If so where can I get it?


Is it worth trying to get the program to run with the Flash.ocx unbundled? If so, which version.


Are there any other possible work-arounds e.g. a regedit value to get the program to not be blocked? I cannot ask my customers to not install 2004.


Why will it not run in compatibility mode? It is still running for me in all Windows updates prior to 2004.


I am in the process of moving to another development platform but I need some time. Also I am not alone. A number of other developers have the same issue.


Please help.

Thanks,

William

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
