Anniversary Update Compatibility

[IT Troll]

Is there any word yet on if whether the Media Center will still work OK with the forthcoming Anniversary Update for Windows 10. I know it is not out yet but perhaps someone on the fast ring has already tried?

no idea, but i heard the latest builds work, i'm doing dual boot with Win7 now, i want to make the switch probably disabling forced updates just to be safe once i get everything working

Thanks that is good to hear. This forced upgrade business with Win10 does give me reservations for using it for my HTPC.

I'm running 2 HTPC's right now. I'm not dumping Win7 till the wheels fall off. I disagree with these guys that upgrade the main rig to Win10, too risky for me, and I never have been a big fan of upgrades. Scrape it off, sand it down, a little primer, throw on a fresh 10, and build it right.

1) Win7/Infini4/Ceton Echo's

2) Win10/HDHR-3CC/Xbox360 (Build 10586.0)

I think I remember reading that last year's November TH2 Update silently removed Media Center from Windows 10 during the upgrade process. Similar to the behaviour when upgrading from Windows 7/8 but without the warning.

I suspect that the Anniversary Update will do the same. So I guess this means WMC10 users need to be prepared to reinstall and reconfigure after every upgrade. Sounds a bit painful if that's the case.

It appears to me that the Fall Update and likely the upcoming Anniversary Update are not Upgrades at all. It appears to be more like a Sheriff Assisted Eviction. They walk in, bag all your stuff, and throw it on the curb, format the drive, put in a new OS, and leave you a note as to what was removed. About the only thing they do leave is the User Accounts, and most of the time, the accounts are screwed up resulting in a Reset/DontSaveTheFiles, and rebuild.

This is not surprising to me. What do we expect for free? Don't look for bargains when shopping for Toilet Paper and Operating Systems.

BTW...a couple guys in the insider program report...DVB tuners are recognized, and allow installation of drivers, encryption not working. HDHR-3CC is not recognizable, unable to install drivers. This Win10 game is more difficult than Chess.

Correction.....unable to install drivers is incorrect. No tuners in WMC Setup is more precise. I am working on getting some real answers.

Which HDHR driver did you use? When I tried the 063016 beta version, I had the same issue with it not finding the HDHR-3CC Tuners. I uninstalled & installed the 0821615 driver & it seemed to work. Mind you this was with the 10586.0 release (The one to use in the instructions to get extenders to work)

WMC will not detect HDHR-3CC in Build 14393 and earlier (Insider Preview).

Uggg. Not good. You think SD will perhaps create drivers to fix? I know they don't have to but it would be nice.

Check the other thread.....you have to stop the updates to buy yourself some time, to get ready for the switchover.

Looks like I might be moving to Enterprise LTSB not sure yet on "N" or "no N"

Anyone actually get the update? Did it break anything?

[seanbperiod]

im anxiously waiting to hear about this. I bit the bullet and updated, but I'm afraid to reboot..

[hansolo89]

so is wmc working , and does it need to be re-installed?

[XXXBerto55]

Reboot!! Reboot!! Report back! Reboot! Just do it... If it's broke you'll need to get started fixing

Now that is plain silly

You have done the deed, now check the status for heaven sake

[IT Troll]

I suspect you will have to reinstall at the very least.

[choliscott]

Ok I'm going to do a clean install with the Anniversary update. Following these instructions
