[DISCUSSION] Patch WMC to run on Windows 10 final & possible alternatives

Try this from an elevated command prompt

sc create ehRecvr binPath= "%systemroot%\ehome\ehRecvr.exe" error= ignore start= demand type= own DisplayName= "@%SystemRoot%\ehome\ehrecvr.exe,-101" depend= RPCSS obj= "NT AUTHORITY\networkService"
sc create ehSched binPath= "%systemroot%\ehome\ehsched.exe" error= ignore start= demand type= own DisplayName= "@%SystemRoot%\ehome\ehsched.exe,-101" depend= RPCSS obj= "NT AUTHORITY\networkService"
sc create Mcx2Svc binPath= "%SystemRoot%\system32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceAndNoImpersonation" error= normal start= demand type= share DisplayName= "@%SystemRoot%\ehome\ehres.dll,-15501" depend= SSDPSRV/DeviceAssociationService/TermService/fdphost obj= "NT Authority\LocalService"


Then reboot and try run media center

 

I'd hate to ask the same question twice, but do I run the wmc or wmc-x64 reg file on my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Intel machine? I read something about x64/AMD, so I just want clarification.

 

A reboot shouldn't be needed. WMC starts the services by itself if needed.

 

I have x64 windows and I ran both, I wasn't sure either, but it worked.

 

I got it working with the original reg posted by abbodi, which was grabbed from an x86 installation. But now, as you can see, a proper x64 reg is available, so use the latter.

WMC started even with the unpatched (and not starting) services.

So your problem must be somewhere else, likely on the registry import part

 

Tried to do this step, but I couldn't because every single one already existed. Is this be cause my Windows 10 Pro was an Upgrade instead of a clean installation? Prior to the upgrade, my PC was using WMC to record and watch Live TV, connected to my InfiniTV 6 ETH.

Do I need to remove the tasks and use the ones from the download in Post #344 or can I just skip this step and continue onward?

 

mine already existed too, as I upgraded from 8.1 mce, I just deleted them and added them again

 

I think that hardly there is any change from win8.1 in the services (I think it's safe to skip the step).

But pay attention to the configuration folder: often happens that, upgrading from WMC to WMC, eshell crashes because the old configuration files in \program data\microsoft\ehome.

So stop the WMC services and delete them, just to be sure.

 

Ugh, I feel like such a noob. I went to post #233 and didn't find any files. Do I just create the file using the first block of code or both blocks and name it ngen.bat, then run that?

 

I actually upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Should I just try it or do you know for a fact that this will cause problems, thus I should delete the old scheduled tasks and import the ones from the file?

 

mine came up saying the configuration was corrupt and had to be removed or something along those lines, it fixed the problem itself.

 

Yes. That's one of the three cases that can happen.

Case1 = the configuration is detected and upgraded = no first run configuration needed

Case2 = your case, configuration is deleted automagically

Case3 = Crash or nothing happens (apparently) when you launch WMC

 

You can just copy the instructions block and paste it on an administrative prompt.

Then hit the Enter key. TWICE! to be sure that the last line is executed.

 

stuck! help!

 

What are we doing on how to get this to work?

 

Maybe you have to pick a country where it can't download those settings, I know here in New Zealand it doesn't want to download them

 

Its USA, it should work with that I think..

 

As far as I can see the listings aren't working on 1013x builds, no matter the country.

Then is possible that the server refuses the download as happens here in Italy or the server does nothing, no data and no deny.

Likely you are on the second case, so try to change you country and see what happen.
