Windows 10 and PI 1.8.4
« on: 2015 August 04 07:05:57 »
I asked this question on one of the other topic pages and I guess it got buried in the traffic for other issues.

Has PI 1.8.4 been tested against Windows 10?

I installed Windows 10 on 7/31/15 and the PI 1.8.3 migrated from my Windows 7 installation just fine.  In fact most of my old apps work as well or better than under Windows 7 with Windows 10.
However....  When I uninstalled PI 1.8.3 and installed 1.8.4, I couldn't find it in the Start menu or the All Apps menu.  I could go to the Programs folder and pin it to the Task bar, but I couldn't pin it to Start, where I wanted it.  I don't think this is a PI problem, because I tried uninstalling PI 1.8.4 and re-installing PI 1.8.3, and I had the same problems just mentioned for PI 1.8.4.  I've also read on Microsoft Fora that other users are having the same problem.  PI 1.8.4 is currently running on my Windows 10 machine, everything links to it, but I can't use it from the Start Menu.

PI was reported to work in Win10 by other users too. We don't have a computer with it installed yet, but this may change soon. Anyway, with the new Qt libraries, it should work fine.
We'll keep the problem with the start menu in mind.

I should have mentioned above that it's likely a Windows 10 bug.  The problems other Windows 10 users are having with the Start Menu don't have anything to do with PI.
