Quick note to confirm that SimSig loader sims seem to be working OK on W10 release version.

Just to add I ran Bristol (exe sim) for around an hour or so last night on Windows 10 and did not experience any issues whatsoever.

So am I - hoping it comes up tomorrow morning so I can install it whilst I'm out!

There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

I upgraded to windows 10 yesterday and it took about half an hour to install. I just clicked on the icon that said I could get windows 10.

You can download Windows 10 from this page at the bottom
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
if you find the download slow as I did at first just cancel & restart ... took 5mins when I got a good connection

If you still have the Windows symbol in your taskbar, click on that and it will bring up options to begin the install. Once it has downloaded (the quick part) it then gives further options to install straight away or schedule a time.

This was tested and fixed yesterday, and I plan to do a release today.

Really? Are you sure it doesn't give an error? Something along the lines of 'I/O error 1784 when trying to update'? That one has (hopefully) been fixed but if you're getting no reason at all then that could be a separate issue.

Forced Windows 10 (full release) onto my PC this evening - got bored of vague promise of auto update within days (or even weeks!).

Huge relief to find SimSig still worked (my first test!)

However, can confirm that updater doesn't work - trying to go from v 4.5.1 to 4.5.2

Just says failed to download updates as sandy221 says.

Then spotted Geoff's message "Sim, Loader and new versions" posted earlier this evening and this works!

Sorry, I don't know how to link to this post - but it worked for me!

In Windows 10, whilst running a sim, you create a Simplifier screen (F8) then minimise it. How do you bring it back? Nothing is displayed on the task Bar.

Re: Original question: Have any of the Windows 10 users found where Windows store minimised windows within Simsig windows?

Hi Barry

I am using windows 10 and when I minimise the F2 or F8 screen it puts it just above my task bar and I haven't told it to do that either.

Hope this helps

When I lose a spreadsheet it tends to appear when I click the Task View button on the bottom bar. For some reason random sheets disapper there and aren't available vis the normal button. Perhaps it will work for SIMSIG too. (Haven't had time to play for so long they aren't installed on the new laptop!

I'm afraid it does not work. My feeling is that the Simsig System program will need updating for Windows 10.

Nothing needs updating Simsig works fine with Windows 10.

The windows dock on top of the taskbar. You might have to shrink your main view window to see them. Works no matter how you've got the options set about showing all windows on the taskbar.

I just tried the instance of creating a simplifier screen then minimising it and it dropped to the bottom left corner of the Simsig screen exactly as it did before upgrading to windows 10. See attached pic

What do you mean you can't get it to start?

Any errors, or other messages?
