Scite 3.4.4 Win 10 I click "Help" or press F1, there is no response If I use the file explorer and double click Autoit.chm or Autoit3.chm help opens. There is no dialog to check or uncheck "Always ask before opening this file" when clicking on these files. If you are curious as to why I dont have the latest version, I am creating a back up laptop that has a VERY extensive automation application that I have written over the past 15 years. An extremely potent, powerful, needed function has been deleted in the upgrade of Autoit in recent years that I can not do without. If my main laptop dies, which it almost did, I am in a very bad position. So I bought the exact same laptop and I am "cofiguring" it to work exactly the same as my main laptop. However, this one has been "Upgraded" to Win 10 which I hope is not the problem. Thanks for any help

Something i worked out today for checking browser Edge is not a traditional program (its an app to all intense and purpose) so not as simple to access This how i got it working Local $edge_test = FileExists(@WindowsDir & '\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge.exe') If $edge_test = 1 Then Local $edge = RunWait('explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge') EndIfThe runwait will work for other apps as well if you change the appfolder location to the right app There maybe other ways but this is best ive come up with so far Enjoy

Ive had a bit of code from a long time ago and its always worked perfectly until recently It creates a restore point of a given name that i choose and i use it when i finalize a customers pc to go back to them. the original code was from Venom 007 Global $CuDate = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime() Global $sRestorePointName = 'Tech_Finish ' & StringTrimRight(_Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($CuDate), 9) Func _CreateRestorePoint($sRestorePointName) ; Author = Venom007 SplashTextOn('Restore Point', 'Creating Restore Point.' & @CRLF & @CRLF & _ 'Please Wait', 300, 90, -1, -1, 18) Local $objSystemRestore $objSystemRestore = ObjGet('winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!root/default:SystemRestore') If Not $objSystemRestore.createrestorepoint($sRestorePointName, 0, 100) = 0 Then SetError(1) SplashOff() If Not @error Then SplashTextOn('System Restore', 'System Restore Point Created Successfully.', 300, 45) Sleep(2000) SplashOff() Else SplashTextOn('System Restore Error', 'System Restore Point Was Not Created.', 300, 45) Sleep(2000) SplashOff() EndIf EndFunc ;==>_CreateRestorePointJust recently now im seeing windows 10 machines it fails at this line im pretty sure $objSystemRestore = ObjGet('winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!root/default:SystemRestore') Does anyone know what has changed in win 10 to cause this?
