Bug in Windows 10 "Creator's edition" - NOW FIXED

Note: You only need to read this post if you are running LetSys on Windows 10.

We have had a problem reported by a user who had upgraded to Windows 10 Creator's edition, which started rolling out to users at around the beginning of April.
This results in dates being shown incorrectly in the bookings window; they cannot be read. The problem recurred on two additional machines, and a search of the web reveals this is a problem for users on completely different applications also.

You are therefore recommended not to upgrade to "Creator's edition" until this problem is resolved by Microsoft.

If you have windows 10 Pro, you can defer the installation of Creator's edition as follows:
- Go to Start > Settings > Update & security > Advanced Options > Defer feature updates.

If you are on Windows 10 Home edition, then this post gives a solution: http://windowsreport.com/prevent-window ... e-install/ but it is more complex and involves modifying the registry.

To tell if you are already running the Creator's edition, hit winkey+run, then type winver. Creator's edition is Version 1703 OS Build 15063.xxx In the event you are successfully running creator's edition and LetSys without this problem, please let us know.

One of our users has reported that the problem was resolved by a fix installed by Microsoft on 15th June.

I haven't verified this myself yet, but it would now seem that you can go ahead and install this new release of Windows 10.
