I appreciate all you have offered, I just found out through my computer specialist, that my operating sytem need a full "repair" as there is something wrong which needs to be fixed. I got a hint, when I tried to download Picture Style editor and it did the same thing. I will let you know the outcome when my computer is back to it's regular self. Thanks again

Do NOT allow them to an OS upgrade of any kind.  Canon software is not compatible with an upgraded OS.  An upgraded OS is pretty harmless to applications that only process data, like a spreadsheet or a word processor.  But, an upgraded OS can potentially wreak havoc with apps that interact with the hardware, like USB ports and graphics.

What is an "upgraded OS"? Is it different than an OS update?

My PC came with W7. Updates applied as released by MS. Installed W10 when released. W10 updates installed as released. No problems with any software.

For a while they were selling PCs with Windows 7/8 that included a free update to Windows 10 when it was released.  I have seen a mom and pop computer repair store offer "Windows 10 upgrades" to owners of older PCs.

If you read through the OS requirements on the Canon apps, some state Windows 10, not upgrades from an older OS.

Thanks. Didn't understand the difference.

I agree. I wil stay with windows 7, as I understand that upgrading can make your photo appliances large paperweights. I am currently working from my wind 10 laptop, until my desktop gets fixed and found out that my wonderful 9950 Canon scanner will not work, no upgrades on the apps. Hope you all have a merry and safe holidays. Cheers,

I much preferred Win 7 to Win 10 but its time is limited due to lack of support.  Win 7 was the true heir to the excellent and stable XP OS, Win 10 seems like a project done by a junior high AP information tech class.

Upgrading a Win 7 machine to Win 10 is fine as long as it has the computing horsepower to work and many machines were originally sold as either 7 or 8.x with upgrade to Win 10.  If the processor series is too old (a big problem with some of the early small/mobile processors from Intel) or simply underpowered then Win 10 won't be a good idea but if the machine is capable of properly running Win 10 then DPP won't care.

And the best operating system upgrade would be from any current Microsoft product to Linux, unfortunately that won't work until DPP and Adobe support Linux.  Both my HP Z series workstations are dual boot (factory installed Red Hat Linux and Windows) and Linux is fast, svelte, and troublefree never calling attention to itself like ADHD kid Windows 10.  Unfortunately Linux won't properly run the two packages I use most for photography.  An OS should be like the best waiter in an excellent restaurant, never calling attention to itself but always taking care of things.  Windows 10 is just the opposite.

Rodger, platforms with an upgraded Windows OS might work is some cases, but they are not supported by Canon, which I do not find all that surprising.  

------------------------

Windows XP had too many security issues and problems, IMHO.  Applications could directly interact with the OS and hardware..  Malware could substitute its' own DLL for those in the OS, or those used by a reputable application.  One of the problems that .NET Framework "fixed" was this security risk, also known as "DLL H3LL"

Windows 7 addressed the wide open back doors in the software by instroducing the VM architecture, Virtual Machine.  But, the physical hardware under the hood was still grounded on Windows XP.  Windows 8 tried to close some of the doors, but couldn't.

It was not until Windows 10 that the OS itself was written with VM Architecture, which closed the last of the wide open back doors for malware.  The hardware in a native Windows 10 machine fully supports the VM Architecture.  The upgraded OS platforms are still running on the older hardware architecture.  The GUI looks like Windows 10, but Windows 7/8 is still what is running under the hood.

As I mentioned earlier, I am using my laptop with win 10 , and DPP and Picture style editor seem to work OK, which I am happy. But, that still would not influence me to upgade. I will stay with my 7 pro 64 bi.

Have a happy holiday.

Thanks, but net framwork 4.7.1 is loaded, and still "NR" on DPP .. I have a M50 camera, and the Version recommended for that camera was 4.12.20
