I am sorry but that is the case.  In the event that a codec fails to support windowless mode it would cause an active movie window to appear as is the case here.

We recommend the use of WMV for videos as that is natively supported in the OS.

Correction, I had a play around and like others found that the problem lies with task view, clicking on this changes the view on both desktops to desktop 1 and freezes deskscapes, and requiring a restart. When not using this feature both desktops are apparently stable whether dream or wall, I get the impression that task view considers deskscapes to be an open task and tries to show it.

Aside from this after lasts nights update, install stayed on 30% for almost 15 minutes before restarting, worrying times ahead.

of course its more then simple codecs.. My multi monitor setup with 1 video spammed over all the monitors dose not work at all... won't even load into a  framed video ... it just locks up when trying to load...

this exact setup will not work under win10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0_w59bdt5Q

Did a clean install of Windows 10 today. Upon installing Object Desktop Manager I see that Deskscapes 8 is greyed out as a "Not Compatible" program. Can/should this be overridden or is there an update in the works to fix/verify compatibility. Pretty much this program and Object Dock are the only software I use these days. I'd hope they keep getting support.

ya if you have deskscapes as a seperate install it doesnt show grayed out lol

im going to try wolfs suggestion for the time being.it would make sense that hiding task view and unchecking everything under advanced might be better for the time being

if your deskscapes froze though instead of reloading your gfx card drivers you can also try this.

bring up search screen and type in deskscapes 8 (assuming the freeze got rid of your right clicker(

select a background that you werent using hit apply.

then select the bg you were using and hit apply.it should rekick it without having to reboot or whatnot

Quoting Jafo,

If it's showing as 'not compatible' then definitely leave it for the moment....

Will do. I will also add that Deskscapes 8 seems to play rather badly with Nvidia Gsync all of a sudden with Windows 10. I issued a bug report with Nvidia when I found that use of Windows Game DVR with fullscreen games, with Gsync on caused my system to freeze when quitting games. At the time Deskscapes was also installed. I shut off Gsync instead at the time. This time around with Deskscapes left off a clean system, Gsync and DVR work just fine. I also recall hearing that Gsync works in some way by taking control of the DWM refresh rate. And if i'm not mistaken Deskscapes does some magic with DWM to make video wallpapers work. I'm not familiar with all the technical details but it seems like Microsoft did something in Windows 10 to disrupt what must have been a very delicate balancing act to get all this stuff to work, or just happen to work, before. Hoping SD can make the necessary updates soon.

im pretty sure itll be a free upgrade as a object desktop subscriber.they are rebuilding in mere days now it seems.quite a few have already been remade.windowblinds 10 and deskscapes 10 will be out eventually and like always im sure its part of the package as it always has been

since those were much bigger programs than many of the addons i might add could be why they are getting the smaller addons ready first

just a thought but it makes sense those would take longer

As you lose the Win 8 licence when upgrading to Win 10 I hope Stardock make allowances for that in the price for Deskscapes 10.Deskscapes 8 is not going to work for those of use who bought it unless we buy another licence for Win 8!

Correct. The one month rollback period is with respect to the actual backed up files on your PC getting deleted after a month which makes an in place rollback no longer possible. You are free to use your Windows 8 key to go back via a clean install at any time. However, it will likely deactivate Windows 10 should you ever use that Win 7/8/8.1 key on a different system while the Windows 10 system is active. The old key is tied to a hardware profile which is what lets you do clean install and have it activate without an actual key.

Nope.
