Blink1Control not working properly on Windows 7+

[jcap360]

I have been using the controller for months now and I never had a problem, even with the December 4th update to Blink1Control. But since about a month ago I have not been able to even open up the controller main window. Every time I do it freezes the window on a white screen and does not respond. This was not a problem for me as it was still running my IFTTT recipes just fine as long as I kept the controller running on my computer in the background and didn't try to open the controller main window. But now it stopped working with my recipes completely. I even tried using the old controller and that worked fine but it did not respond to IFTTT recipes. Someone able to help?

This exactly is happening to me since I upgrade to Windows 10

This should be fixed in Blink1Control2 : https://github.com/todbot/Blink1Control2/releases

I had same issue (white screen in app) on 2010 Pro with v2.03, to resolve, did a right click on Blink1Control2.exe and pick troubleshoot compatibility, then pick recommended setting, click test the program, click the 'more' then run anyway, then next and save

Hi @jjs68,
Thank you for that work-around suggestion. It could be the clue as to what's happening for some people. I've opened on issue for Blink1Control2 as issue todbot/Blink1Control2#68

When you say "2010 Pro" do you mean Windows 7?

hi @todbot I was running fine on windows 7 Pro x64, was when moved to windows 10 Pro x64 that had to use compatibility mode, did not mean 2010 :) was typo

this is what it added looks like, it just changed to win 8 compatibility
