    Ah. I just read the code and saw that they call UAC too :eek:

    Does that still happen if they've disabled UAC? (A bad thing to do, but it can be done.)

    I always install both DCA and PlayReady externally. Maybe not necessary, its just a habit now. Up in the extras inside WMC, I always thought the DCA should be the first thing you run after the first time you open WMC. Without that, TV Setup doesn't work right.

    Obviously you did both. How many others did? This might be their first time since Win7, or longer.

    On yours, you have ClearQAM working, don't you?

    And for anybody else reading this, these suggestions are for

    Cable Card Tuners using ClearQAM or EncryptedQAM

    NOT OTA​

    If you have the UAC disabled each command runs as admin by default, so the cmd should just run as intended w/o triggering anything.

    So, yes, just "upgraded" from Win7 to 10, installed the new WMC, installed tuners (infiniTV4 - Comcast). I can watch live TV but cannot get the guide to successfully load. True I forgot about the DCA, I'll try that when I get home tonight, hopefully that fixes the problem.

    For the record the W10 LTSB 2016 was just leaked.

    Not that this is supposed to change anything on the DRM side. But at least you can have a crap free system to start with. (no metro apps, no market, no edge, no forced upgrades, old calculator, half disabled cortana)

    From what I was reading on MS site it looked like the commands might run with the user's current level and privileges. Maybe I read it wrong.

    That was about as clear as it got, and I think it was referring to Windows Server.

    Just wanted to report that build "WMC_6.3.9600.16384_x64_v12.7z" is working great after the Win10 Anniversary update.

    Sure.I doubt someone here is using windows on a limted account. So, practically, current = admin

    Pennsylvania, USA; tuner is an old ATI TV Wonder 650 that works fine in Win 7.

    Still can't get past the PlayReady update in Live TV setup. This is the whole process I've followed:

    * uninstall with Uninstaller.cmd
    * [reboot]
    * cmd.exe ➜ sfc /scannow
    * [reboot]
    * remove stray ehome files with _TestRights.cmd ➜ rd /s /q C:\Windows\ehome
    * Control Panel ➜ uninstall PlayReady
    * [reboot]
    * _TestRights.cmd
    * reinstall WMC with Installer____.cmd
    * install DCA with digitalcableadvisorsetup_x64.msi
    * install PlayReady with PlayReadyPC_x64.msi
    * turned off Windows Defender
    * open WMC and Live TV Setup
    which still results in Update PlayReady ➜ incomplete

    So DCA and PlayReady shouldn't be installed until after WMC is opened, but before running setup? Any other ideas?

    Jessie: Thanks for your response. I did what you recommended, but it still does not install. I think it has something to do with testright. When I ran installer as admin, the cmd.exe opened, ran, then closed itself. But when I tried to run testright as admin, the cmd.exe opened and nothing ran.

    You can use the uninstaller that is in the v8.7 package. The 8.7 package can be downloaded from T-S signature

    TMT 5 (I think it was 5) never worked for me inside WMC on Win7. Same thing crashed all the time. I played around with it again in Win10 WMC v11 click the v11 in my signature to go there. I run TMT by itself on my 3D setup. Would you happen to have the list for keyboard controls?
