    The only way I can install this version is with a clean install of Windows 10. I have tried, and tried uninstalling previous version to no avail.

    I successfully uninstalled v11 and installed v12 on two machines. On the third I had the 0x800f0922 error . I successfully installed it after following the directions I linked to in a post a few pages back. YMMV.

    I tried those instructions (and others) but never got it to work on my system after several hours of trying. I'm with dhjohns on this one, I expect I'll need to reinstall Windows 10 to fix whatever is broken in order to avoid wasting more time trying (I wonder if it is because it was an upgrade from Windows 8.1 with Media Center?), but that's on hold for now as I WAS able to re-install v11...

    Restore Point puts you right back to working v11.

    On mine, I defiantly flew through some turbulence during the uninstall. Several others also. All the fixes and little tricks are listed if you click on v12 in my signature and start reading, if you haven't allready.

    Something defiantly went wrong with your install.

    1) How do you know your system files are corrupt?

    2) What brand of codecs are you running?

    3) What are you going to do now?

    4) What Version of Windows are you running?

    If I ever had to change languages I think that is done in Windows. Try uninstall and re-install Spanish. Just an idea, I never had to change languages.

    In moving from v11 to v12 I got Error: 0x800f0922 on an x64 machine. I tried a .NET fix and could not get it to install. With a brand new install of Windows 10 it installs fine. I've not had the "modified files" error and my hdhomerun prime works great. I've been through some windows updates and it's still working.

    So I messed up going from 11 to 12 yesterday when I did not follow the instructions and ended up doing a clean install of Windows 10 and everything worked fine. Today after work I turned it on and I am getting a "service is unavailable" on all channels but when I go into "digital tv antenna strength" all the channels have good signal strength. HDhomerun view is working fine still... Any thoughts?

    *edited to correct errors

    Does anybody else get a few seconds of 'black screen' when putting WMC into fullscreen and either minimizing or restoring it from fullscreen mode?

    Rerun the HDHomeRun setup. scan the channels for each tuner. Make sure BDA compatibility mode is "Windows Media Center" go to the advanced tab and click the repair button.

    that should fix it.

    I remember having that problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling the HDHomeRun software and driver took care of it. The repair feature in HD Homerun Setup did not help.

    I believe that one is caused by resolution mismatch. The bigger the mismatch the longer the delay.

    example:

    graphics adapter 1366 x 768 to display 1080 x 1920

    I'm such a rube. I should have tried that... Reinstalled Homerun software and all is good again. Thanks for the replies Kim and guho

    I tried this today and couldn't get WMC to launch even though it appeared installed. So I reset my PC to a clean Windows10 and it now loads fine. My question is, can I apply all of the latest windows updates and still be ok? Or should I turn off the update feature?

    I havent had any issues with keeping windows updates enabled since using v11 and currently completely up-to-date with WMC still functioning like it should.
