Solved Mattercontrol crashes since win 10 update

Ever since I (begrudgingly) updated to Windows 10, Mattercontrol crashes frequently. I posted to the Robo3D users group on Thingiverse and tried changing the compatability to Win 7. This seemed to solve the problem, but yesterday alone MC crashed 6-8 times. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm beginning to wonder if it's my computer. (HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook, AMD A6 3400M)

 

I have used MC on Windows 10 quite a bit and did not have any issues.
If it were me, I would uninstall MC, delete any folders and contents it may leave behind and use a registry cleaner to clean up the registry just in case.

I highly recommend CCleaner (free). It also has a great program uninstaller built in too.

Good luck.

I have since moved on to Cura myself. I like it better than MC for better control.

 

Thanks Rigamarol. I did try an uninstall before but I failed to delete registry files. I will do that next. Meanwhile Windows troubleshooter recommended running it in Win 8 compatability mode. I'm trying that now and currently printing. Finally, I have used CCleaner in the past and am a huge fan of it, although it's been a while since I did a cleaning. Thanks for the suggestions and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the quick response as well.

So I updated to MC 1.6 the other day and I've had no crashes. Based on the responses I got from the Robo3D community on Thingiverse, I have concluded that it's a computer issue more than a MC issue. So far, so good.

 

I installed MC 1.6 on two machines and one crashed and the other didn't. Both Windows 10 machines.
