Hi ! . Someone installed Xpression Studio with Windows 10 ? . It's stable ?
Thank's

I did that, with no problem. But keep in mind that is not recommend because not fully tested and approuved by dev team. Specification of Ross is always to use Xpression with Win7 64bits.

I'm using Xpression designer on Win10 and it seems to work fine. The only issue I've had is video material not previewing on the material thumbnails.

Lots of us run XPression Designer/Studio on Win 10 laptops and desk PCs, but so far nobody has really tested running XPression Studio with an SDI output on Windows 10.

Until Windows 10 development takes care of some of the glaring issues (like forcing real-time scanning) we won't be moving off of Windows 7.

Any insider information on when Xpression will be qualified for Windows 10? I am starting to get pressure to move all computers to Windows 10 in the next 6 months.

Windows 10 is still not appropriate for real-time rendering software like XPression. The most glaring issue being that Windows Defender will actually automatically turn real time scanning back on after being turned off for a period of time. This is a huge issue for software that operates in environments like XPression. Real-time rendering can't happen if the OS is auto-scanning files as they are accessed by the software.

There are other issues as well, like how Windows 10 dishes out updates. But even if we brute force issues like this to go away (by editing registry's or installing software to protect the changes we make) we still can't confidently provide Windows 10 to customers. We don't know what the next Microsoft update might do.

Until Microsoft settles down on Windows 10 features/updates and grants more control over the OS I don't think we'll see certain types of broadcasting systems qualify Windows 10.

If I was speculating, I don't think we will see XPression qualify Windows 10 for real-time rendering any earlier than January 2017 - a year and a half after Windows 10 release. It could stretch even as far as July 2017 - two years after release.

Bumping this post up to get an update on official Windows 10 support for Xpression. The only computers in our facility that still run Windows 7 are the Xpression Studio, Prime, and Gateway (project server, bluebox, etc). I would love to get these on Windows 10 to get the University's network security people off my back. Any idea of when this will be in place?

Windows 10 support has been added to XPression Designer and XPression Go!. These systems support Windows 10 in XPression v7.
Windows 10 support for Studio/BlueBox/Prime/Gateway/Project Server/etc is currently being tested.
We can't make any commitments yet, but we expect Windows 10 support sometime around April 2018, plus or minus 3 months.
There will be instructions and a procedure for performing the Windows 10 upgrade to Windows 7 units in the field.
