Windows 10 & ASTRO 25 CPS

[Vizwar]

Anyone tried it?

Our first laptop upgraded to Windows 10 from 7 isn't able to open a port with any ASTRO 25 radios via USB cable.

Open Radio Failed
Error Context: 24, Status: c0000344

I'm hoping there's a fix, but I'd also accept my being the only one having this issue.

Did you install the CPS after the upgrade, or is it left over from before the upgrade? Was perhaps the Win 7 32-bit & the Win 10 is 64-bit?

Thanks for the response. It was previously installed on Win7 Pro x64. The OS was upgraded using the in-place installer downloaded from MS.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the CPS, no luck. The installer did complain about there not being a supported version of .NET on the PC, which seemed odd.

My next step is to open a case with /\/\, but I already know the canned response will be "Win 10 not supported". After that, it's partition time and I'll run a separate Win7 OS.

Or look at a virtual machine

Does the radio show up in device manager when you plug it in? Have you tried any APX radios also? I'm running w10pro64 and have no issues using USB and CPS yet.

There has been a lag in radio CPS support anytime a new operating system comes out. I have just become accustomed to keeping a slightly older computer available as a radio programmer. Then I keep this computer away form the internet and updates.

Right now I support radios that use version of DOS as well as APX series radios programmed with 8.1 computers. 10 will be supported eventually I am sure, it just takes some time.

Did you try installing and running it in Compatibility Mode for windows 7?

[Vizwar]

Thank you again to everyone who responded.

A Win7 VM was ultimately what worked for me and it worked really well. I used Oracle VirtualBox and it worked the first time.

If any of you are also running Aviat Eclipse gear, the VM works for their Provision software too. Aviat Portal runs fine on Windows 10.

I got it to work just fine under Windows 10 Pro, but it needs to be the 32 bit OS, it won't run even in compatibility mode under the 64 bit OS.

Some of my users are now saying they are able to run ASTRO 25 CPS in Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) without any changes, CPS updates or otherwise any effort at all - it simply started working. I'm assuming a Windows 10 background mystery update resolved it.

Another follow up...

XTS2500 works on my own laptop. The X close button in the top right of any child window inside CPS is missing, but the "Close" button in the bottom left is there.

I was NOT able to read/write an XTS5000. I got the same error that started the thread.
