I know when I updated it I could not stream on Streamate what so ever.

Everything else was fine.

Just another reason to never upgrade to Windows 10. D:

This update is in the latest windows 10 update (which I think you can't opt out of anymore). It appears to be they have added a windows based camera splitter function.

more on it here with a temp fix

I know ManyCams released an update that fixed the problem I was having due to the Microsoft update. So anyone who uses ManyCam make sure you have the most recent version.

This makes so much sense! Thank you

Ever since I updated Windows 10 the software that came with Logitech camy will not work. The cam will work on campsites but to record content I have to use different software. Any time I try to use Logitech software it gives the error "launcher_main.exe has stopped working". I've already contacted Logitech and they're still working on it. The only resolution I have found some far is to revert to the previous version of Windows. I just use different software.

Windows 10 erases hardware drivers every time it updates. I have to reinstall my drawing tablet about once a month. I fucking hat Windows 10. Worst OS since ME.
