Windows 10

So I upgraded to Windows 10 and the first thing they ask is if you'd like to use their "Express Settings". I pressed "Customize" to see what settings they were referring to.

Send your contacts list and calendar info to Microsoft. NO
Send your browser history to Microsoft. NO
Backup all your files to the cloud storage at Microsoft. NO NO NO

We are Microsoft. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

Think of how many people just hit "Accept" also on "Express settings"

If you are using a MakerBot Replicator 2 or FlashForge Creator Pro with Win10, is the printer working? Also, did Win10 install its new 3D printer support drivers for your printer?

Thanks - John

I upgraded on my travel laptop just to try it out. Don't know if it installed any support drivers for 3D printing. I think you have to download an app to install the drivers. The printer I use is a Projet 1200 SLA machine connected to a Win7 computer with my CAD software.

I know with my Printrbot Metal and MakerBot as soon as I connected the printer Win10 installed special drivers (i.e. plug-and-play) and identify the 3D printer along side the standard computer printers. Great concept, if it worked. :-)

The custom drivers appear to make the printer work with Microsoft's free "3D Builder" app (https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/3D-Printing), but messes up Repetier, etc. that expect the printer to be on a USB-to-Serial port. And if you uninstall the new driver it will just reinstall itself when the printer gets connected. I am in the process of trying to uninstall the entire "Printrbot Driver Package", but this is a complex procedure.

Bottom line, stay on Win7 for now on the computer you use to interface your 3D printer.
