It will probably take quite some time before we switch from Win 8.1 to 10. I see no immediate advantages. Even so, I have installed it on a lab PC and tested a little bit. If nothing else, since we do a lot of conference productions, we must be able to help our customers when they can't get their laptops connected to the projector, change display settings, connect to internet, etc.

So far vMix 15.0.0.88 for sure works on W10, but I also found some issues.

It seems that Quicktime is not available for W10, Apple says "QuickTime 7.7.7 for Windows Vista or Windows 7".
Not sure what that means for vMix and the use of Quicktime dependent videos.

There is no smooth way to turn off automatic updates in W10. We do this in W8.1 to make sure nothing is downloaded while we need the available bandwidth for streaming. Even more important, not have a sudden reboot during production. Although there are some workaround (eg see Wired's and Gizmodo's solutions, it's kind of messy. My guess Microsoft will change it's policy and enable disabling - so to speak ;)

Multiple desktops and desktop capture, it works - but I have only tested it on the local PC. One must select "Capture hidden window" if the thing you want to capture is running on another desktop than the one vMix is running on.

On a side note, we have the W10 "feature" Wi-Fi Sense, that shares the SSID and passwords you have with your "social friends". Something you might not want to do, and seems to be enabled by default if you install W10 with "Express settings". Google it, or see for example ExtremeTech, for more info.

There are also a couple other settings you might want to change in Windows 10. The first one is when your computer restarts after an update. The other is (P2P) updates.

>Go to settings
>Next, Update & security
>Next click advanced options
>Next, at the top of the window use the drop-down to select when your computer restarts; automatically or notify you.

The other setting you may want to change is Optimized (P2P) updates. What that is, when delivery Optimization is turned on, your PC sends parts of apps or updates that you’ve downloaded using Delivery Optimization to other PCs on your local network, or on the Internet, depending on your settings.
> Go to settings
>Next, Update & security
>Click advanced options in the center of the window
>Next, click "Choose how updates are delivered"
>Turn OFF the Optimized (P2P) updates with the slider

HI,

I just updated to Windows 10 my Asus notebook with nvidia geforce 850 and integrated intel video card.
Vmix 15 it works only with the intel card, when I try to assign Vmix to the nvidia card, using the nvidia control panel, I had an error "D3DStartup",protected memory.
I tried to uninstall and install again vmix but it's the same, I tried to find a new driver for the video card with no success.
Any suggestion?

Thanks
Max

thank you Ovinas, I installed this new driver but the problem is still there

now I can't even open vMix, after I added the software to the nvidia panel I have a startup error, probably I have to reinstall the program to use it with the intel graphic card

FYI, I deleted a post which mentioned needing to install QuickTime to use transparent MOVs.
I want to make it clear that this is not true, and as long as you are using 64bit windows and 64bit vMix, QuickTime is not needed
and most MOV files including transparent ones will work in vMix just fine.

On Twitter:

It's already back with vMix 16!
Go to record settings, select FFMPEG, change Codec to MPEG-2.
Be sure to have latest vMix version 16.0.0.50.

New Nvidia drivers: 355.60

This might be more to do with the webcams rather than vMix. There are some threads about this issue. Try a search. :-)
