Windows 10 support?

[Paul Hoffman]

First and foremost, THANK YOU for a remarkable screensaver. I have been using it on my Windows 7 64 bit machine for a long time. I recently upgraded to Win 10 and I have been plagued by BSOD, typically when the ss kicks in. I am loath to remove the Matrix KS to troubleshoot since I love it so much and there is no true evidence that it is the culprit. So I thought I'd ask about Win 10 compatibility directly from the source.

Thanks!

Sorry, I don’t yet have Windows 10 (planned on a test machine ONLY).   I plan to stay with Windows 7-64 for a very, very long time.

If/when I get Win10 somewhere to test, I’ll consider/confirm whether this ssaver will work on it.  Surely***** Microsoft wouldn’t break backwards compatibility with screensavers……..

 

 

Thanks,

Kelly

I have windows 10 64 bit and I run the screen saver with no problems I had to use it in compatibility mode and it works flawless 

[Paul Hoffman]

Thanks for the input. I didn't remove the SS but narrowed the BSOD problem down to the Catalyst control center app. Removed that and no BSODs for the last 2 days. And the Matrix screen saver is running.

I'm running it on Win10 perfectly fine. Manual install, copied files manually.

Kelly, I had a question.  I am running windows 10 using the matrix screensaver.  Everything works fine accept for one minor issue.  When I come out of the screensaver, I get a blue screen for about 1-2 seconds before my desktop shows up.  Any ideas on what might be causing that?

Robert,

As for your 'get a blue screen for about 1-2 seconds after closing screen saver' -- never heard of that one.  I don't currently have Win10 on any box yet.  I've scheduled a test box to get it, so now it's up to MS to get it to that box.  All I can say is..... Windows7 is awesome.  :)   Not exactly the answer you're looking for. Sorry, can't help you yet.  It sounds like a Windows bug.....again.

it runs OK in my windows 10 have you tried running it in compatibility mode ? and choose windows 7/8 ?

[Robert Beistel]

I am right clicking The Matrix screensaver in my program list and the window does not offer a compatibility tab at all so how do I run it in compatibility mode

[Brian Carr]

you can use the compatibility mode prior to install (uninstall the screensaver you have installed at the moment)  just right click on the Matrix_ks.exe file and click the troubleshoot compatibility in the context menu and follow it through

         Best Regards Brian.

Thank you for the suggestion Brian.  I tried windows 8, and windows 7.  It still does the same thing.  It's not like it doesn't work, but the blue screen thing is just a little annoying.  I will use something else and try this one again some day when Microsoft tests it like Kelly said previously.
