LCDHost and Windows 10

[Antistar]

Just wondering: has anyone tried LCDHost on the Windows 10 beta?

I'll probably upgrade from Win 8.1 to Win 10 once it's out, and I would of course really like to have LCDHost working properly on it. The "Get Windows 10" thing doesn't report any issues with my installed programs - which is promising - but I don't know if it just doesn't say anything if it doesn't recognise a particular program.

Hi,

It was working fine for me before installing the new RTM Windows 10 build, now it crash at launch, error : 0xc000007b

Nothing in the logs folder...

Anyone reproducing this issue ? Found a fix ?

thanks!

Updated to Windows 10 last night and unfortunately the exact same issue here. Crash at launch with that same error. I tried previous versions of LCDHost and found out that .34 is the last version that starts properly, but it also has issues: when it starts, it displays on the G19 display for like 2 seconds and then disappears. I haven't found any way to make it stay on the screen but if someone else has ideas, it might be worth investigating. I don't think there's a link to .34 anywhere on the site but I found it just by changing the URL from current download so here's a direct link: http://www.linkdata.se/downloads/software/lcdhost/LCDHost-0-0-34.exe

LCDHost is the one and only plugin I ever use on the display so I do hope this can still be patched up.

Heya. The Applet told me to register since it's been running for 4 hours on Windows 10 (actually for more hours, but I just noticed it).
Anyway, I thought I'd come by to say that, for me, the version I downloaded today at this site is working fine for me on Windows 10 and it's the prettiest and most info-packed applet I've used so far.

Yeak not working for me either with the same error. Tried compatibility mode and a heap of other options to no avail. Would very much appreciate a tech savy individual patching this up

It doesn't look like LCDHost will work for windows 10 until the dev updates it to be compatible, and as far as i seen he has gone missing.

Its strange that it's not working for you folks. Do you have up-to-date drivers for Windows 10 from your Keyboard (Logitech I assume) installed and made sure that Windows-Auto-Drivers are disabled? (Go to Advanced System Settings -> Hardware -> Device Installation Settings -> No, let me choose what to do -> Never install driver software from Windows Update )


With latest Logitech Gaming Software (downloaded for Windows 10) and the LCDSirReal (2.8.5) it works fine for me.
I do get the error "2015-07-31 12:15:23 | src/lcd.cpp(186) | can't open the G15 registry key | 000000b7=Cannot create a file when that file already exists.  " but regardless of that the display is working fine.

We're really talking about LCDHost not working properly but it's good to know that at least LCDSirReal, which is a completely different program, works. It's also supposed to support G19 although only in black&white but if someone doesn't find a fix for LCDHost, LCDSirReal is perhaps an alternative then.

right click the icon / settings / advanced  click Run as administrator
right click the icon /compatibility/ Run this program in compatibility mode: select windows 7

Duh, why didn't I think of that. The above worked perfectly and LCDHost is running fine now, thank you!

[Antistar]

That's very good to hear.

Now all I have to worry about are the various esoteric programs I use in my Skyrim/Fallout modding.

I can confirm that this works with LCDHost 0.0.37-win64.

Thanks, dude. I honestly did not know if and how I could handle all of this. LCDHost is pretty much THE perfect G19 application.

you are welcome . Glad I could help

Thanks! this worked for me as well. Mine wasn't crashing when i opened it, it just didn't even start the process even when double clicked... no errors, no logs, but this worked.

I dont know why but for me it wont load the drivers so it wont output anything.
And that have started for me since I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10

EDIT: I got mine to work in Windows 10 after I run the debug tool ( Load All Unloaded Drivers )
