I may have found a Possible windows 10 Fix? or did I break Deskscape?

from Stardock Forums

Apparently I may have accidently found a fix for win10 users

I was under the impression when a users goes into "Services" and disables

DeskScapes8
C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\DeskScapes8\ds8srv.exe

that it would keep Deskscapes from loading when windows loads?

apparently for me on windows 10 the deskscape.exe dose not load but it still loads DShost.exe which then plays the background with NO issues... so Im a bit confused because with

DeskScapes8
C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\DeskScapes8\ds8srv.exe

when enabled and to load when windows 10 dose it completely fails, crashes and dose other weired stuff but disabled, it still plays the background with no issues..? super confused 

as seen here

edit.. its still massive broken.. when I used task view it crashed the video wallpaper

 

Currently I had to disable and pause desk scapes till a update is out.. I had to fall back on my other program called Video Wall Paper which works fully with no issues how ever dosen't come close to the features that deskscape has.. but it works so that be it for now

Yeah, Deskscapes does not work correctly with Windows 10.

You do realize we are talking Deskscapes here, not Dreamscenes?
