Plan-G in Windows 10

[Demious]

I just installed Plan-G under Windows 10, but every time I start it up, it stops responding and the whole computer gets stuck. I can move my mouse, but that's all that is still functional.

What can I do to fix this?

Cheers,
Maarten

Does anyone else have Windows 10? Issues?

I did an upgrade win8.1 to win10. No issues. Considering wiping the system and doing a clean install soon (I am a glutton for punishment)

I think I found something.

I noticed that Win10 is quite slow with starting up all kinds of files, a simple Notepad text file often takes 20-30seconds, an installer can take even up to well over a minute to start and explorer locks during this time...
I'm used to opening a program and reposition the window as soon as it comes up, but this seems to cause loss of control. I tried waiting a little before doing anything when the program opened and then it's okay. I can move the program window and use all functions as I'm used to.

So if anyone experiences these same problems with Plan-G in Win10, just wait like 10-20seconds before clicking on anything and you should be fine.

Hello,

I confirm , it is slow

Upgrade from win 7, an other one from win 8.1 without any problem.

By default, Windows 10 gives priority to background tasks, not applications (this is wrong, IMHO)

To fix it:

Right click Start – System – Advanced system settings – Advanced – Performance Settings... - Advanced – check PROGRAMS

I'm having problems too with a fresh Windows 10 install. I've tried running Plan-G as administrator and in Windows 7 compat mode, neither made a difference. It's a network PC (not my main flightsim PC), the flight sim is P3D 2.5. When I start Plan-G, as soon as I click on the little corner button to set the paths to P3D so I can build the database, it crashes. I've tried both 3.1.2 and the 3.1.3 beta. If I can provide any other information please let me know.

So user error, sorta. Clicking on that corner expand button does cause a crash, but I realized today that I didn't need to click there, and if I clicked on the build database button it would prompt me for my flightsim location and such. That worked fine, and so far the rest of the program seems to be working fine in Windows 10 too. Those corner buttons in other parts of the menu ribbon work fine too, it is just the Nav Database one that causes a crash.

Okay thanks, I'll look into that.
