Hello Members and Support Team,

So , to summarize the Deskscape errors in Windows 10 are two: Deskscape videos  freezes with / without the sleep mode and we're waiting for a patch from Stardock to solve this issues .

Regards,

BlackStone250

So are we gonna get a patch soon? not being able to close cation center/clock just because deskscapes is running is stupid.

I have deskstapes 8 but the videos don't work because it says I don't have a codec...

I do have other things like VLC that play the codecs and the media pack stuff.

I was hoping to upgrade to get that working correctly on windows 10, does the upgrade help any with this issue?

It will run anything you throw at it.

Welp i guess im the only one with that issue...

No need to install codecs tbh, use a small software that it is from Klite called Codec Tweak Tool.

The software can enable Win10 codecs that come disabled by default. i did here and fixed the issue with some video format playback on deskscapes that make the video freeze for 10 seconds before start the loop again.

As for the updates, i do hope they fix the fullscreen freeze bug soon too, and if possible, optimize a bit more to at least make deskscapes use less than 10% of the processor.

Well, I didn't experience any of the issues you have mentioned thus far.

However, it kinda totally messed up my Fences.  Icons seemingly disconnected from their fence and appearing on the desktop when the fences were hidden.. not that they worked.. they appeared to be a screenshot of my icons and were non-functional.  All I tried was applying snow effect to my existing static wallpaper.

*rolls eyes .. it's ok but, I think I will wait to reinstall it once there's been an upgrade/patch/fix/etc. released.

I'm still waiting for CursorFX to get fixed too.. so it doesn't prefer to slide under menus & things instead of staying on the top level so, maybe they're still thinking about fixes.. been a very long time to be without CursorFX already though.  I did convert a couple into windows format and that worked but, omg what a hassle that mess was.

Ok Stardock.  We love ya but, c'mon .. get w/those friends @Microsoft and figure out some solutions for these little glitches that keep us from being able to use the programs we keep licensing --please.

Sincerely, devoted fanboy for like ever, ~Myr

Is there a way to disable Deskscapes with a keyboard shortcut?

Deskscapes 8 on windows 10 is constantly crashing just when browsing wallpapers on the application this just started this week last week I did not have any of these issues I think it has to be a windows update because I have not installed anything new to cause this issue software/hardware related. The error message I Receive is this application has stopped working and event 1000

I had to go ahead and uninstall it (DeskScapes) for now.  I'm sure they must be trying to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it with an updated release.

That's the best advice I can offer you guys right now though.

Just remove it, reinstall any other things that may get messed up .. in my case, I had to reinstall Fences to get it to go back to behaving normally after removing DeskScapes .. and just get your favorite wallpaper back for the time-being.

They are bound to have noticed and while unresponsive here in the posts, I'm just gonna give 'em the benefit of the doubt and wait for an updated release to try again.

Happy New Year to you all in any event.!  Hope that you all have a Great year in spite of any evidence that could make us see something else on the horizon.

Deskscapes 8 seems to be working fine now I Did not change anything just restarted pc and everything seems to be fine browsing in windows 10 within the application.

I'm happy to hear it's working in your situation.

I sure wish that had worked for mine.

And, I'm going to give it another go before long.  Download all the current versions of my various Stardock current licenses and make sure all my drivers are up to date and try again.

But, congrats on yours working properly with your config.!

Happy New Year too.!

It was Windows 10 compatible  ... at least for me.

2-days-ago Win10 update stopped DeskScapes working. First, it is a message after boot :

ActiveMovie Window: DSHost.exe - system error

Exception Processing Message 0xc00000005 Parameters 0x7ff82a1d28 etc....

(was not present before Win10 update). And second - config program stops working just 3 seconds after launch. So... no DeskScapes anymore... or until next Win10 "great" update, or next Stardock software update (Yes, I've reinstalled DS, but with no fun), please ?

I can confirm that this is an issue.

Does anyone out there know which update caused the problem on do I need to manually uninstall each until I run across the right one?

BTW...hi to everyone.

Edit, the update that is to blame is Microsoft Windows KB4013429.

A quick uninstall of it and I'm back in business. I can wait until Neil's team works out the issues with it and DeskScapes before I let that the update install again. I read that the update addresses a list of window's issues so I'm sure it will eventually need to be installed.

It looks like it is also impacting other apps : https://www.xsplit.com/blog/windows-10-update-issues-kb4013429

Sometimes I wonder if Microsoft test anything they release.
