Hi I recently installed windows 10, currently using VDJ 8, controller going haywire, I manage to play a few songs and controller and VDJ 8 freeze. At start up all the LED's on effects knobs light up, BPM meter scrolls, just to name a few issues. Installed latest drivers from Numark. NS7ii is a Serato controller and works fine with that software. Sorry had to try it to test haha. My Numark V7 work fine with VDJ 8. Can anyone help thanks!

I have upgraded to windows 10, using VDJ8. I have had the same problems as some of the other users regarding the use of VDJ8 without any problems. I upgraded from windows 8.1 and VDJ8 worked fine on that OS. I have been trying alsorts of things to try and resolve the problems like loud buzzing coming from the laptop speakers and drivers not running etc. I have uninstalled VDJ8, ASIO Drivers, Sound card driver for the Realtek HD Audio sound driver, but No good result.
I sat back and thought about what I was doing and how to put things right. I knew that all was OK when I was on the windows 8.1 OS, so then came a possible answer. Run VDJ8 is program compatability mode for windows 8, also run the ASIO Driver in compatability mode for Win 8. Try it for yourself. Its worked for me.

I have upgraded to Windows 10 the day it was available. I have not experienced any problem yet. Last weekend I played a whole weekend (friday, saturday and sunday from morning to morning) with the Windows 10 laptop with VDJ8 and everything worked great.
I do can confirm that I also had the horrific stuttering buzz out of my laptop speakers when I first started VDJ8 with Windows 10 installed. My first reaction was go to the Soundcard settings in VDJ8 and change it to my controller again!! That worked for me. Never had this issue again.
Two of my friends experienced the same problem. One of my friends uses the "JB systems kontrol 3" controller. This controller doesn't work anymore since the Windows 10 upgrade. He is talking with JB systems for a solution.
He also got the (very loud) stuttering buzz sound with starting VDJ8 after the Windows 10 upgrade.
My other friend also got the stuttering buzz sound out of his laptop speakers after the Windows 10 upgrade, but he blew up his internal laptopspeakers with it!
His controller is working well, but his internal laptop speakers died with a smell of burned speakers...
So be carefull everyone!

Using windows 10 over the weekend and I had problems with the curser . It would disappear when it was placed on the search box with the arrow eventually splitting in two. Its a windows 10 problem and not an issue with VDJ8 however just another glitch. I have tried uploading a screen shot but for some reason VDJ forum wont accept it.

I can't believe Microsoft released Windows 10 with so many bugs. Wait ...... no I can.
They committed to a date and it wasn't ready so just released it anyway. After the disaster I had upgrading a Windows 8.1 machine where unbeknown to me it would completely wipe your wireless card if VPN Software was on the machine (also unknown to me) I won't be giving it another try. 2 days wasted and I had to completely restore the machine to factory settings.

Win 10 is terrible very slow and thats been on several computers. I have been using superantispyware for years and just after one sitting it discovered 218 pieces malware. It is also known that Microsoft by design allows windows 10 to send information about your use to over 15 sites. No warning is given that the restore process may not work and you can not revert back to original OS. Last night I put a clean OS7 drive in my gig Machine which was much faster.

Are you kidding me? Maybe you have to remove your spyware seeker, because I upgraded all my machines (desktops and laptops) and even my slowest laptop I wanted to throw away is now fast enough to keep!
It's faster than my Windows 7 AND Windows 8.1 laptops!
It's so good I even gave advice to my boss to implement Win10 at work

If i can give any advise on Win10:
If don't have performance issues, stay on your system.
I wouldn't trust Win10 for professional DJing at the moment if you have the choice.
Just wait a few months more so the OS is more stable for those things.
If you still want Windows 10:
Install it new.
Upgrades are horrible.
They are way more likely to mess up your system and especially programs like VDJ can be dangered.
That doesn't mean that it's likely, but no professional DJ wants the possibility of something going wrong, right?

Re - Windows 10 and VDJ7/8.
I tried alsorts to get rid of the loud buzz that was coming out of my speakers on my laptop. uninstalling software, updating drivers, changing settings, all to no resolution.
The result is and confirmed as a FIX.
Run VDJ7/8 in compatability mode and set it to run as "windows 8"
Also do this for your external sound card, mines a Dj io.
I have tested this now for the full week running and shutting down and then running again with no issues.
Try it for yourself, hope this works for you.

Upgraded to Windows 10 and had problems running videos with both vdj 7 and 8 where videos would freeze intermittently and sometimes lag or be out of sync with audio. also would see lines across video that appear to be scan errors. had no problems with audio. tried changing registry values for videomemmaxuse but no effect. also made sure i had latest nvidia video driver. still no fix. ended up downgrading back to windows 8.1 (painless and quick process so long as you are within 30 days of when you did the win10 upgrade). everything working normal now.

It is sometimes worth asking what would upgrading to windows 10 offer that windows 8/7 never regarding running a pc for DJ work (office work i can see benefits but not for djing)
So why upgrade a known good configuration for a new operating system that is in its infancy. If it ain't broke why try and fix it?
My home pc windows 10, my dj pc's...... not a chance Windows updates turned off period

UPDATE: I have since done 6 gigs and have had ZERO issues with VDJ8 and Windows 10 (Much faster than 7,8, and 8.1 were). I did notice a bug when unhooking VGA out from my laptop to a projector that Virtual DJ 8 will disconnect my Gemini CNTRL 7, but doing a simple shut down of VDJ8 and restarting it, solves the issue. I now leave the VGA connector plugged in at gigs until I am done for the night.

That is not right.
You can actually block all updates and telemetry of Windows 10, but at the cost of making significant changes to the OS
that no normal user/DJ should have to make.
Also external tools are needed if you don't want to spend hours to block updates.
I just wouldn't block them.
Even though i had no problems on my current Windows 10 installation for a month of trying out stuff,
many errors are still reported.

Daniel
