New Windows Update killed Hal

[Spitfire2600]

Windows 10 just did a massive update and no amount of uninstalling/reinstalling/removing registries is working to bring Hal back to life.

How very unfortunate.

The HAL program installs and actually opens in the background just fine but from there, opening Hals window or anything in the general options causes it to hang with a message from windows installer saying it's setting up the software? I'm lost and this is a huge bummer.

Actually, scratch that. For some bizarre reason, Microsoft Office needed to be reinstalled after the update. I have no idea how that affects a fresh install of Hal... But after that, Hal fixed himself in some fashion and is working again. This is not a problem with Hal, apparently. Windows updates, everyone. :P

Actually, Another update.... Hal stopped working again but this time it was due to me moving the install location of Hal Reader. Once I moved it back, Hal started kicking again. Windows updates, coming to your computer soon. lol

ive been working with the betas for about two years (insider program) ive not had any problems with hal. I can tell you that the new update next year should work with hal also. but I can see your point about different programs causing hal problems as hal is throughout my system. and she does get a "cold" with some updates.

anyways my two cents
