Issues with windows 10.

Yes, I know it's a beta.
Worked fine in 9860.
In 9879, less so.

It seems to break windows itself.

My pc does double duty as a pc & htpc.

I generally use mpc-hc to watch stuff on my second screen, lg plasme tv)

Never before had any issues, until 9879.

I use essentially the taskbar setup from winxp, ie; no pins & quicklaunch.

I now get the following issues. Icons disappear from taskbar. Quicklaunch becomes unusable. Start menu becomes unusable.


There are no error messages.

Thanks.

How is that related to the codec pack? There are various icon and menu related bugs in Win10 itself.

I don't know exactly what it's related to. I thought this was the forum for mpc-hc...??

As it stands, the only video player that doesn't break windows, other than windows media played itself, seems to be the portable version of vlc.

All well and good, but I prefer the functionality of mpc-hc.

The bug tracker for MPC-HC can be found here:
https://trac.mpc-hc.org/report/9

But this isn't a bug in MPC-HC, so reporting it to them is pointless. You should use the feedback tool in Win10 to report it to Microsoft. They need to fix it.

Oh you can be absolutely certain that I have complained to them as well, loudly and frequently... although they don't seem to care very much. I hold out hope that the next release will fix it, but....

Thanks.
