Windows10 - Pad Editor crashes, everytime.

ChrisTait

Hello all,

Does anyone have any experience with Windows10 and Allegro 17.2 ?.

Basically we switched over to Windows10 this week and if I edit a padstack, it crashes..... everytime. I get the message that it has 'stopped functioning' with an option to close the program.

If I save... it crashes... If I update to design... it crashes... If I open a .pad directly OR open it by editing a padstack in a footprint... it crashes on save....... grrr !

I have a spare computer I am using to edit padstacks, Windows7 machine... but that's not a long term option !.

I did a complete fresh install of Allegro and have applied the latest patch (047)... nothing helps.

HELP !, is it a Windows10 error or is there a magic path or setting to fix this ?.

Thanks a lot guys,

Chris

    Hi Chris. I run Allegro PCB editor on Win 10. I checked the padstack editor per what you have above and did not find any issues. I don't recall ever seeing the padstack editor crash. By way of a suggestion maybe
    verify using your file manager that you can write and delete files to the folder you wish to use. It kind of sounds based on what you indicate that the write is failing hence the crash. If writing to a network location instead of your local drive,  verify permissions. BTW I checked S045 and the latest SO47 and all is good.

    FYI win 10 is slower in my experience than 7, in particular with respect to graphics speed.

    All the best
