    Upgraded to Windows 10. All is working well (with a lot of effort in between) One issue left that I can't seem to squash.

    WcStart runs just fine, and starts up all the correct programs in the
    correct order. If the system is rebooted and it runs (automatically)
    WcMail takes up all of the processor time. If I decrease the CPU
    affinity to just 2 of 4, it immediately stops the excess CPU usage and
    I can then bump it back up to all processors and all operates normally.

    If I do a shutdown after reboot, and restart, WcMail works as expected.

    That is minor and I reboot infrequently so not a terrific issue other
    than Windows 10 auto updates.

    The big issue is that WcStart does not finish correctly, and after all
    other programs are running correctly, hangs with 25% CPU usage.

    I've run DGView but I'm not understanding the log file, so I'll attach
    that for you here. If you need any additional information please let
    me know.

    Window 10 64bit
    Latest AUP update.
    WcStart is listed as 6.4.454.2 and is running in compatibility mode XP
    Service Pack 3 as are most other Winserver programs.

    As far as WC6.4 XP SP3 compatibility mode and Windows 10 from my testing
    all it does is screw up things, some of my programs wouldn't even function properly with it set and I tried all the different OS modes even the compatibility troubleshooter which I abruptly aborted when I saw where it
    was going. Have you tried wcMail and wcStart and all the other WC apps for
    that matter without any compatibility mode on them? That's the way I'm
    running WC6.4 without any problems on a 2CPU Pentium 4 under W10 Pro 32Bit.

    What is your last entry in wcStart? Does it have "wait for program to
    finish" box checked?

    Sorry so long to reply. Family health issues.

    There are no wait for program to finish boxes checked. WcStart exhibits
    this behavior (locks at 25%) even when run to check it's settings.
