    Hi,

    I rebooted my computer a few times and I still can't get the installers to work.

    I made a post on page 194 of this thread and haven't heard anything regarding it. Essentially I was able to get the Media Center Extender to work on Windows 10 after modifying termserv.dll but after about 5 minutes I have to reconnect on the extender because it disconnects. At the same time I get some event viewer errors. Any idea how to resolve this?

    Hi whitezombie455. I don't have any sort of test system set up for Win10 MCE, so everything I say is just me running the scenario though my head, but is the MCX user account that the Extender add process creates added to the local admins group?

    Not sure what the Product Policy Editor is, but I'll research it. I'll also have to find what files have been patched and put the originals back (and get them). Which I assume the originals are from a Windows 8.1 WMC install, which I can source. Then at that point, I assume your saying I can just boot up WMC and see if Protected Content plays and/or displays the same message. If we still get the same message, then that pinpoints it to the codec files yes?

    I really don't know what's wrong in your system you can either do an in place upgrade (reinstall windows on top of itself keeping everything) or install manually the files the registry and the scheduled task. It depends on your skill.

    No they weren't... That being said I just added them to the group and unfortunately it still disconnects after 5 minutes and i still have the same event viewer errors/warnings.

    My main error is:

    I checked regedit and the 784E29F4-5EBE-4279-9948-1E8FE941646D = AUSessionConnectTaskHandler Class 1.0

    Not sure if that helps but maybe it will. I am unsure what AUSessionConnectTaskHandler Class 1.0 is.

    Hi, After deleting AVG, I am now able to run the command programs that came with the package. I am also able to run Media Center. Thank you everyone for your help.

    Lol... AVG is really problematic :) Again I suppose you to add a hint into readme file "Kill AVG before any attempt to install WMC"

    Yes but in that case it's likely right.

    Running a program with trusted installer rights is something that in the wrong hands can be very harmful for your system,

    Well, as I said, no tuner is needed for that test trying to see any video trough the terminal client is forbidden.

    Even if you have a single PC, a smarphone is more than enough. It's plenty of RDP clients, starting from the official MS one.

    So not it's really a 5 minutes test.

    Anyway I just asked out of curiosity, not to "force" you to do something you aren't interested about. ;)

    And what's right (or wrong) in using RDP or not?

    I'm wonering if anyone can be of further help with waking WMC to record. In a previous post I had stated that I had Window 10 Home edition and that the commands to add it to the administrators group as was suggested didn't work for me. Sure would be nice to have it wake for scheduled recordings.

    What didn't work?

    The command syntax or that went fine, but your pc still doesn't wake up?
