Windows 10 and Inventor

[lrm]

Well, I finally decided to upgrade from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10. The install went fairly smoothly, about an hour and a half. After it was all done I discovered I could not open the File Explorer (formerly known as Windows Explorer). There was no way I could see a list of the files in various folders on my computer. A Google search informed me that the problem was with Inventor! I uninstalled Inventor 2014 and now File Explorer works.

 

I am hoping that File Explorer will still work after I install Inventor 2016.

 

Anyone else have experience with Windows 10 and Autodesk products they would like to share?

I use Win10 with Inventor 2016. Inventor 2014 and 2015 are NOT supported by Autodesk on Win10, so I haven't even tried to put them in. I just run a VM with Win7 if I need to go back to it for some reason.

I had this same issue. File/Windows Explorer would crash on me. Some Google searching came back with clearing your explorers cache of recently opened files and things like that cleared the problem. No need to uninstall.

I am running Inventor 2014, 2015 and 2016 on Win 10. Inventor runs fine.

I do have intermittent crash problem with Explorer. I simply try again and it works. I suspect there will be an Update released soon to address the issue. I did see reference to renaming/deleting some file, but it has only been an annoying issue for me so far so I haven't tried that suggestion.
