Windows 10 upgrade

[mitviz]

i have been having a weired error though, seems i cant run two versions of max at the same time, been happening since i upgraded, its max 2015 so idk what windows 10 has to do with it, also when running backburner, if i minimize the window it wont reopen, idk been seeing all this since windows 10

Fine here, new WS with 10 and a few RN's upgraded. Setting the network and remote desktop was a lot easier than with 7 and 8.1. Only issue Ive run into was that it would get stuck during an upgrade of one of the nodes. Turning off windows update before restarting the upgrades solved it.

Once installed removed most of the apps that are standard (xbox app and other nonsense) and its been great so far. Still on max14 so cant speak for the newer versions.

For me the added value is with my Windows Phone, having everything connected with onedrive and one OS across all hardware works really well.

i posted on autodesks forum and i was informed max 2015 isnt really fully supported and maybe its the root of my issues so am guessing others out there are having issues

[mitviz]

just to update, the issue i am having has been caused by the latest builds of corona, so i guess windows 10 is off the hook took awhile of removing all plugins etc to find out but had to

I did it.
No problems so far.

I reinstalled my pc with windows 10, with max 2016 and the new vray 3.4, works really fine untill max was completely reset one morning.... and with reset i mean all the preferences (that are stored in 3dsmax.ini) where gone, and the day's after, max kept on resetting. I have been reading on the autodesk forum and it seems to be a common problem for some users/and not always ... very annoying & very strange .
So maybe someting is wrong in the installation procedure, anyway i am going to reinstall my pc again grrrrrr

I have the exact same problem - max resets itself sometimes. I sometimes access my computer via windows' "remote desktop connection" and I suspect this to be the culprit. Are your computer sorted now after the reinstall?

Yes sorry did not test it yet (summerholiday) I had to move on so just installed win7 for now, after summer holidays I will test it again
However Auto desk says that max is compatible with Windows 10 from version 2017.... But some plugins like multi scatter are not yet ready for max2017......
Let u know if I know more

I am using multiscatter in 2017. I used it heavily a couple months ago.

Multiscatter should be available for 2017 although they didn't announce it. The requirements state max 2017.

hmmm, i havent used it in awhile, i remember it was really fast with alot of geometry, since you also use forest pack can you say what are pros and cons of both? just a few

[glorybound]

I haven't used it years, except on a recent project, but it was just for something small. I had a problem with Multiscatter because the support was not there and when it was, it was rude. It might have changed and gotten better, but I have since moved over to Forest pro.

ahh thanks

I too have noticed 3dmax.ini resetting under windows 10 more often. But it could be because I occasionally have more than 1 instance of max running. The only problem I have with windows 10 is the automatic restarting. I don't mind the downloading and even installing updates. But several times now I lost hours of rendering because the computer restarts

I've been on it for about 3 weeks now and it doesn't restart by itself. No issues so far

You can easily postpone the updates there is s special checkbox in the updates settings
