Actually yes I am, nice to meet you. But seriously, as I mentioned in my post;

And considering I sell and service specialized systems like this every day I see it often.

Theres no sense beating minuscule bits of code into dust on software thats working as expected and there has been little change at the audio end in the field to require it. Yes there have been a lot of hardware changes but not so much with the operating systems. Virtually all the Breakaway products will run as expected on the devices and software they are supposed to that is currently available. See the list of requirements before installing and do your research.

This is why forums exist.

Most end-user problems occur because of software conflicts, poor hardware or barely adequate hardware or people not knowing why or taking the time to do the proper homework.

Most of us inside the industry have known of windows 10 for at least a year or longer. I Have been working with the betas on this since before they knew they were going to call it windows 10.

There are a lot of very large and heavy players in this arena waiting to see what happens next and nobody's holding their breath here. It's a fact that every other OS that MS ever wrote were miserable failures. By past performance this one should be good, but at this point nobody is actually jumping up and down screaming wow yet because there has been little change at the audio endpoint to require it. Most of it is cosmetic or cpu and storage targeted and aimed at smarter faster ways of doing things…..they say.

I repeat, there has been little change at the audio end of things to require sweeping updates. Take a look at some of the other players here like Orban/CRL, Mackie, Atomix, and so on. Are you seeing anything significant coming from those camps? I don't know about you but I haven't seen any lightning out of a clear blue sky in the audio field in a while. Now as for the rest of the hardware, like processors, ram, graphics and storage systems yes. We have the power for more multitasking with these changes but not at the audio or networking end of the PC side of things, in fact it's gotten a bit stale and boring.

If anything with those changes things should be better than when they were designed and most of them are. You have to remember that DSP's require a bit of time to do what they do and speed is not necessarily going to improve anything here. Remember with these products, psychoacoustics is everything and thats the perceived sound not the actual sound as measured. There has been very little change here.

Logic says wait for the changes AND wait to see how it's going to run on the millions of computers and configurations that use it, and how the public is going to react to it before you spend weeks trying to adapt to something that may fail before anyone knows the results. MS has also been known to release large sweeping changes themselves 4 to 6 months in when they see what isn't working.

Some software does not need to be updated at the speed of security updates. When theres nothing left to do with something that's working fine the smart thing is to leave it alone.

We live in a time encouraged by gamers that think software should require updates every time someone farts. This is not always the case. There's no sense in doing anything until you see substantial results. Right now the best thing to do is wait and that's what the smart ones are doing.
