Hello, 1809 is not officially avalaible yet, but it is already possible to create the ISOs using Win 10 Media Creation tool. Have you already experiences with it, regarding WMC?

I'm in the UK and receive T2 Freeview SD + HD on WMC using TBS 6205 quad HD tuner (pci-e) on Windows 10 Pro x64. Yesterday I upgraded one pc to 1809, and the first thing I noticed was that the Windows eHome folder was still present (usually gets erased IIRC). However, when I started WMC I got an error message that some service wasn't running. I uninstalled WMC using the MDL command and some manual deleting.

I reinstalled WMC v8, but when finished the epg was 90% missing, there were no recording thumbs and WMC froze when going full screen, although the stations seemed to play OK. I did the previous hacks - replacing EncDec and MSVidCtl.dll - but no joy. Also the 'focus' hack didn't fix the full screen problem.

I reverted back to a Macrium image and set upgrade delay to max (365 days) and everything is back to normal. I guess I'll wait and see what solutions other WMC users come up with.
