Media centre is not starting for me. I click the Green Button and I get a blue circle spinning briefly and then nothing. I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled WindowsMediaCenter_10.0.10134.0v2.1. It was working prior to the latest MS Updates. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Has anybody had any success with HD-PVR or Colossus devices in WMC 10?
I've been trying for days to resurrect the setup that I had working in Windows 7 (Colossus and HD-PVR both working through DVBLink and the 1Geek1Tool Bridge device driver) only to realise that apparently the channel mapping is...

This is why software developers should release a final version with the activation layer disabled if they plan to abandon the software.

Congratulations, your completion of the project makes you a legend too. Microsoft sold 80 million Xbox's. I would estimate less than 20 work with WMC in Win10. More than likely, you are one of the (first 5 worldwide) to complete the project.

Not absolutely positive that Win10 does this...but I wouldn't be surprised if Win10's antivirus updates things without our knowledge, in the spirit of 911 Security update.
In the past we experienced this with Win7, even though updates were turned off in the GUI, MSE continued to update daily....

your issue is beyond my level. Have you tried uninstalling the patches to see if that helps? Have you tried reinstalling WMC? You could always write a script to restart the service and run it as a scheduled task every night to see if that helps.

All you need to do to stop windows 10 updates is stop windows update service and change to manual. This also unfortunately causes issues using the store and needs to be re enabled to download any apps you want to install.
