ReadyCLOUD compatibility with Windows 10 build 10586
I have just installed W10 build 10586 and it breaks the ReadyCLOUD client. It starts initializing but then quits. This seems to happen every time there is an update to W10. Every other program on my ...
My PC just did another Windows update this evening, the second update in a week, and you know what? The ReadyCloud client came back to life without me doing anything. Clearly something was fixed in the update that had killed RC. The version number of Windows 10 didn't change. It still says Version 10.0.10586 Build 10586, which explains a previous comment that says they had no problems. Why this build came in two parts is strange. Why didn't it all download in one go?
I am happy that things are back to normal, but unhappy that MS put out an update or an incomplete update that affected Netgear software in this way. I worked my way around it, by finding an alternative way of backing up, but it was annoying nonetheless.
I'm all in favor of backups - but want to point out that you don't have to use readycloud for that. There are other tools that can be used to back your PC data up to the NAS.
That said, ReadyCloud should simply work of course.
