I don't know, I'm afraid. But I do know what I would do if I were in your shoes (hopefully not too smelly?) and I had an application I had used for a long time and liked:
Contact the support of that program, tell them about my problems and ask when they estimate they can have a Win10 certified version of their brilliant product ready...
I have actually done so on several occasions and almost without exception, I have found people to be very nice and helpful. Most programmers want to do good job and have people like their software. And most companies are keen on helping old customers to keep them in the fold.
I think I could live with annoying file associations for a while... There are certainly more serious problems in the world.
Just my 5 cents. Good luck!

"Default Programs Editor" is part of Windows, IIRC

You're saying that there can't be any third party tools with the same name?
I've never seen Windows edit more than one association at a time...
Anyway, if it IS indeed the built in application he's talking about, then clearly it's a bug (more on the update code than the association code presumably) and should as such be reported to the proper authorities...

Ah, yeah, you could be right .. "I've been using a nifty app..."

Indeed.

Well W10 is your chance to do so then. The default apps are set for a range of file types (eg. video, photos).

You could always make a .cmd file with appropriate ASSOC[^] commands.

I forget the specs of the machine, but you start MS Word say, and bam! There is it.
It is so much quicker than any of the later OSs. Probably because it was closest to NT4, and before ,net got to bloat the crap out of everything.

MS Word now is a zip file (.docx). It has to open the zip and read all the files that make up a "Word Doc", in order to "load", thus taking longer.

You can succeed to confuse most of readers here, .zip and .docx are two different things buddy. Did you meant that Open XML[^] is being used for MS Word?
Open XML is still a zipped format.

I stand corrected.
I always open them with winzip, thus the format.
Thanks for correcting me. 
Also, I'm not your buddy, buddy.

I use two monitors, and have a pair of pictures adjusted to fit.
Perfectly, on WIn7: "Sun from Mars" on Left, Portrait monitor; "Sun from Earth" on right, landscape.
Not so on Win10: Bits of each all over the place.  Have to find a replacement for "Dual Wallpaper"
Edit: found it. http://www.tenforums.com/customization/6360-setting-different-backgrounds-dual-monitors-windows-10-a.html[^]
Why do I have a task bar on both monitors? I didn't on Win7, and don't need one on both. Let's play hunt the settings...done.
What happened to Aero? Everything looks so flat, and dull and ugly...
OK...the tiled start menu I will probably get used to. But why can't I right click and get rid of Twatter for example?
And when I go looking for it, why is the font in the settings pages twice the size of the font everywhere else?
I'm just guessing this is going to be a bit of a "curate's egg" - but I'm yet to see anything I like, which is dissapointing.

Ermmmhhh, because it's convenient, maybe?
That's why I've been using ultramon for years. I know exactly which icons in the taskbar are applications currently displayed on the respective monitor. So yes, I would find this to be a good thing except my download for Windows 10 hasn't even started yet and everything was done to try to get it started.
Ahhhhh!

It isn't convenient, unless the two are different. Two identical taskbars just takes up valuable screen space on my VS monitor!
Fortunately, it was easy to turn off.

That's what I meant. With UltraMon I get only those icons in the task bar(s) that are currently being displayed (or minimized) on that one monitor. Having an identical taskbar with all application icons of every monitor would indeed not be making sense at all.
Cheers!

The task at can be set to only show what's on that monitor. It is the same setting as the virtual desktop feature.

I'm not real impressed either, been helping my brother that updated a couple of days ago and it's a mess! He's just barely computer literate and very impatient so it makes it 10 times worse! (He's doing it because I'm trying to teach him more about computers and I'm trying to pick up Win10)
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.1 new web site.
I know the voices in my head are not real but damn they come up with some good ideas!

i liked it OK until i discovered that it breaks VS2005's handling of PCH files. so i've had to disable PCH use for projects i have to build with VS05.
(yes, i have to use VS05. yes, i know it's old. yes. i know)
that's almost as annoying as the fact that VS15 hangs when you try to do scripted command line builds via DEVENV.

Then why at all bother installing Windows 10 man? Windows 10 is just required if you are going to develop for Windows 10. Otherwise, there is no need for Windows 10.

it turns out that MS didn't advertise that Windows 10 was going to break VS2005!
it's just one of those rare situations where you don't know about something beforehand.

Microsoft just bragged about releasing Visual Studio 2015 along with it and that Windows 10 apps can be programmed in it.
