Let me state right now I HATE Windows 10.

My microscope that worked just fine prior to this God awful system was forced on us, is now useless. It shows up on the control panel, but I cant open it. No matter how I approach it, its like the computer knows its there, but just wont let it work.

Yes, all app permissions are on.

Ideas or recommendation for one that isn't 300 bucks that works with 10?

Probably an older 32 bit app? See if vendor has a update.

Perhaps another app may work with it, check also under the devices and printers for driver compatibility.

I can't help you, but I feel your pain.
I have used Windows XP Office for 18 years.
Everyone says it was the best operating system ever and I believe them.
A year ago, Microsoft dropped their support of the system and one by one, stuff stopped working. Stuff like Adobe. Stuff like Word. It wasn't long, and it was unusable.
Now I am struggling my way through 10, and my tears are shorting out the keyboard.

What software are/were you using?


I use Plugable Viewer on my macbook and windows 10 PC, https://plugable.com/drivers/microscope/?amp

It also has install instructions, I never bothered with whatever stock software came with mine because it came with one of those Tiny CD's and my macbook only takes regular size.
