I'm stuck - upgraded my machine to win10 (64-bit) and installed WMC fine. But when I tried to go and scan using my existing USB tuner (KaiserBaas) it gave me the BSOD. Apparently no updated win10 64-bit drivers and no longer manufactured or support.
So I need a new USB tuner (or two if not dual)....

I have the same setup as @sierra. Works perfectly with MCE 8.8.4 and Kodi.

I have been running MCE under Windows 10 using the various WMC releases and DLL patches to keep it going. About a month ago I noted that when I first use MCE and choose any channel, it switches to Live Tv and displays the channel name and show data, but then the screen just shows the blue moving...

PlayReady is used for Digital Rights Management. Unless you have copy protected media, you won't miss it.
I had a similar delay and found that resetting the playready global data store fixed the problem for me. I created a tool/add-on called reset_playready to do it for you.

Due to Microsoft stopping support releases for Windows 7, I recently updated my Windows 7 to Windows 10 and installed Media Center 8.8.4. All good except I cannot add my two xbox 360 extenders.

Microsoft removed support for Third Party Extenders leaving only Xbox support in WMC on Windows 8. The only exception being the Ceton Echo but even that didn't work in the same way. Reportedly, it was changes made to RDP.

I've never used that feature so don't know how WMC copes with it and can't really comment.
There could well be differences between the two operating systems that WMC doesn't like. After all, WMC was ported from Windows 8 which was likely closer in how elements of it worked in Windows 7 so it is a...

This is quite a good explanation:
On the surface of it, it appears that it doesn't affect sleep but if something doesn't load properly when the system is booted with fast start enabled, then it seems logical to me that could cause other problems when waking the PC.

Glad you got it working, if you find that sometimes the remote stops working, someone came up with a way of keeping ehtray alive - which means the remote always works and things like the recording icon in the system tray also works on Windows 10.

I always thought that encdec.dll was used for more than generating thumbnails but never really investigated it.
The most obvious result of it being missing is missing thumbnails - hence the name of the script.

I think one custom menu strip, with 5 items, is the official limit of Media Center Themer.
However, if you inspect the registry with regedit, you can see how they are added, and can then add/duplicate your own. Although you'd only be able to edit them through the registry then.
