Windows 10 issues (Imagine that)

I recently loaded Windows 10 on my PC with V 2015.1. I am having a few issues. #1 - I cant save to my C Drive anymore and if I open an existing program on C drive, I get "serialization error " and " File Closed because of bad archive" that kills program. #2 - With Datapage RT ,get errors "cannot update file DPUPDATE.EXE" . #3- Tried saving PDF Files from Report. It keeps updating like it's working but doesn't actually save the file. Everything looks as if it would be an issue with administrative rights on my PC, but I have full Privileges. My IT guy tells me it's PC-Dmis issue not windows 10 issue. I am looking for any advice I can get before I call hexagon.

  • The problem with access to shared network folders is not a Win10 problem. You can have this with Win7 and up. The reason for this is from running PC-DMIS as an administrator and the 'administrator' account that you are using doesn't have access. When you choose to run as an administrator it runs as the local admin of your computer.

    The best solution here is to not run PC-DMIS as an administrator. You should not be required to run any software with elevated permissions in general. If there is a valid reason why you cannot do this (using legacy Datapage for example) then you should complain and log a problem report with Hexagon so they will fix it.

  • Correct, the fix is originally from Windows Vista.

    You do have to run the first login of PC-DMIS as admin, but probably not each subsequent. Although, the fix does work, so I don't know why Numbers is still having a problem.
  • I never had this issue on Win 7. Win 10 seems to have tighter restrictions as far as permissions go, so I believe that the problem does have to do with the OS. I'm sure that it can be resolved though. I'll try recreating the shortcut as stated above. I have also submitted a ticket and will post the results in case others are having this issue. Every time that I have brought a problem to Hexagon tech, the first thing that they have asked is that I run as administrator. The ability to do so is definitely a necessity with this software.
