Windows 10: Windows 10 Tested Apps

Just installed Intel SSD Toolbox (Version 3.2.3) on the latest Win 10 TP (Build 9860) and the SSD optimizer function is now working. I installed it using Windows 8 compatibility & run as Administrator for all users.

All other functions work too, although I could never get Secure Erase to work on any OS or system as the drive was always locked.

 

Intel Toolbox works for me. I installed in normal fashion with the old version of W-10. (optimizer function didn't work)
After updating to new version of W-10 the Toolbox just started working as it should. (optimizer function works)

I changed nothing in the Intel Toolbox settings.

I had the same problem and just found a fix for this. On my system, when any app is maximized and then I try to put it into full screen mode, I get the black screen issue. However, if you first make the app's window smaller -- not maximized -- and then make the app full screen, it works. So, if you go from maximized directly to full screen, you get the black screen bug; if you go from maximized to a smaller window and then to full screen, everything seems fine.

Using this trick, I can confirm that the Netflix and Hulu Plus metro apps are working perfectly.

Windows 10 Tech Preview Build 9860 x86 (32-bit) on a homebrew desktop, in place upgrade from Windows 8.1 (x86) with all updates. I just installed and upgraded to 9860 yesterday so not much time to test yet. Here are some that you may find interesting. *Cool

Working:
- Microsoft Mouse without Borders (good because I can't imagine life without it!!)
- Palm Desktop by Access Ver 6.2.2 (this thing just won't quit!!)
- CompanionLink 5 for Palm Desktop (sync Google to Palm Desktop works)
- ResophNotes (SimpleNote client for Windows)
- Total Recorder 8.4 (build 4990)
- Media Player Classic (unicode build) Ver 6.4.9.1 (rev 89) (MP3 and MP4 tested)
- Irfanview for Windows Ver 4.25 (tested with JPG)
- Garmin Mobile PC (software-only version)
- VLC Media Player 2.0.4 Twoflower (FLV tested)
- Core Temp ver 0.99.6.1 - 32bit

Not Working:
- Windows Media Centre (As warned by the installation process.)
- XXClone Home (Runs but says it doesn't recognize this version of Windows. It asks to perform a diagnostic test and then asks you to send the results to Pixelabs for review. I did this. I'll update if/when I hear back from the vendor.)

Is there a "Sort of Working" category? If so:
- Windows Media Player ver 12.0.9860.0 (tested with MP3, WAV, AVI. They play fine ... when it condescends to launch. It always launches just fine the first time you use it after a boot. As long as it's running you can play anything just fine. But once you exit, it will not relaunch. Task Manager says it's "Not Responding". If you "End Task" in Task Manager you can relaunch it and it will again function just fine for that session. Rinse and repeat.)

EDIT: I seem to have resolved the Media Player issue by reinstalling it (turn it off in Windows Features, reboot, and turn it back on).

For anyone who has already read my previous post and won't likely see my edit, I seem to have resolved my Media Player 12 issues by reinstalling it (turn it off in Windows Features, reboot, and turn it back on).

Calibre Portable v2.3 is working.

I know it's not the latest version but at least it's a version that works here. I'll report on the latest version after I download and test it.

Calibre Portable v2.8 (latest version) is working.

Hauppage WinTV7 v3.9b is working.

Does anyone know a decent replacement for Windows Media Centre for TV viewing and recording? WinTV is working for TV viewing but it's pretty crude and does not have any TV Guide or scheduled PVR capability built in.

Here's a link for a plug-in. It was posted in 2008 so I don't know if this will help or not. I would ask if it's being updated and still works before trying it.
Zap2It electonic program guide for WinTV Scheduler

 

Thanks. The plug-in still installs in IE 11 but it looks like the Zap2It site has changed enough over the years that the plug-in no longer works. But thanks very much for reminding me of Zap2It.com. That's what I used to use to check the schedule manually back in the days before Windows Media Centre. It will help make using WinTV a bit more palatable. *sarc
