Has ANYBODY - other than ME - tried running any version of SAM (particularly SAM 2020.11.29 r1 - or the latest one, SAM 2020.11.29 r2) with a computer running the latest Windows 10 which is Version 20H2?
I can't find anyone in this Forum who does.
Until suddenly having the trouble reported before on my old machine - with
Windows 10 Version 1803 build 17134.1304 (64-bit OS); Product ID 00330-80000-00000-AA378 - SAM 2020.11.29 r1 was running on that machine just fine. Then without warning SAM stopped working one day - apparently, and as explained before, because of Windows file corruption issues. A bit later, I noticed additional problems such as Windows no longer recognising my cellphone when connected to that computer with its USB cable. Now I have Windows 10 Version 20H2 on that old machine (after a lot of trouble installing it) - and it recognises my cellphone again.
BUT - guess what - I can't get SAM to work on that machine!
I also now have a second computer (a "new used" one, which I got for about $300) ) which also has Windows 10 Version 20H2 on it. It too recognises my cellphone. And guess what - I can't get SAM to work on that one either!
I'll describe the symptoms later, with the aid of a few screen shots. No error messages appeared; the SAM startup process simply failed without warning part way through. But first I'd like to hear from anyone else who has tried running SAM (particularly SAM 2020.11.29 r1 or r2) under Windows 10 Version 20H2, any problem(s) they had, and the solution(s) to the problem(s).
This saga is becoming an effing nightmare which I can well do without - but fortunately, this time, it's not combined with having to meet tight deadlines for any clients, so as to make me lose those clients!
