* FH stops at random times with new Windows release
FH stops at random times with new Windows release
Hi,
I am happily running FH v6.2.7 (except I have to switch off the antivirus program to start FH - see my previous post)
I recently upgraded Windows to the latest release (Windows 10 Home, Version 2004, OS Build 19041.460) & FH stops at random? times (ie FH disappears from the screen, other apps continue working). I reverted to the previous version of Windows (Version 1903, OS Build 18362.1016) & FH runs ok.
I have done this several times with the same result.
Anyone else have the same problem?

Re: FH stops at random times with new Windows release
I don’t know what my current Windows version is ( I updated a few days ago), but I did experience a sudden shutdown of firefox, FH and file explorer the other day, but assumed I had mistakenly pressed a wrong key combination. I’ll keep an eye open and see if it re-occurs, and report if it happens again.

Re: FH stops at random times with new Windows release
To discover your Windows 10 version use Start > Settings > System > About and scroll down to Windows specifications.
BTW: I am holding off updating to Window 10 Version 2004 to avoid exactly such problems. I do that for every major feature version upgrade to let other guinea pigs find the bugs.

Re: FH stops at random times with new Windows release
Doesn't help particularly I know, but I am running Windows 10 Home Version 2004 fully patched and use FH most days - I have not seen any occurrences of FH stopping / closing unexpectedly.

Re: FH stops at random times with new Windows release
Just checked my Windows Version and it is slightly different from above.
Mine is Windows 10 Home, Version 2004, OS Build 19041.450, or is yours a typo?
(With experience pack 120.2212.310 - whatever that is )

Re: FH stops at random times with new Windows release
If your FH is crashing, checkout how_to:family_historian_installation_problems#family_historian_installs_but_won_t_run_properly|> Family Historian Installs But Won't Run Properly as it may be a device driver problem introduced by Windows 10 Version 2004. This is a known recurrent problem with FH.

Thanks for your replies.
I am now running OS Build 19041.450, which seems to run ok (fingers crossed). I will post if problems continue.
