Have an issue with an application. They are reporting that when running under Windows 10 (Pro) the app is intermittently crashing, while the Windows 7 machines are running just fine.
Did they just start running under Windows 10, or has the problem suddenly arose?
If they just suddenly started running Windows 10 machines, the Windows Update control panel applet needs to be run and updated and rebooted several (to many) times before the machine is ready to roll.
IME, every Patch Tuesday (September 10th this month) has brought instability to some Windows apps. One client who runs VFP on a remote server inside multiple VMs and using Remote Desktop to access has to reboot both the workstation and server VMs every month after applying updates. "Something" in their configuration outside of my responsibility to fix.
If the Windows 10 is new, have you re-installed the VFP app on the Win10 machines. Dependencies aren't properly registered otherwise.
ActiveX/OCX controls installed by default in earlier versions are missing from Win10. In addition, 32-bit support on 64-bit machines is incomplete. I don't seem to be able to locate the thread in the archives, but there's something (VC runtimes? Common Controls? Something.) that may need to be installed manually.
Am supporting another app using both OS's and works fine.
Not even sure at what I should look at. Am reviewing the tables for any oddities,
Any suggestions/thoughts? TIA, Desmond
