    Your words suggest this is the SYSTEM FILES MODIFIED ERROR. I haven't seen that error reported since Version v10 (and previous). This would suggest to me that your O/S was chewed up prior to installing v8.8.1

    My best guess is that you tried a previous version of WMC and installed v8.8.1 over top, or, didn't unblock the WMCv8.8.1 zip file

    Un-install v8.8.1

    Repair the O/S

    Review the Readme and Workaround help files included in the v8.8.1 installation files.

    Make sure the v8.8.1 zip file is UNBLOCKED

    Try again.

    One "other thing".....if you downloaded the v8.8.1 from somewhere else, get the v8.8.1 from Page 1 of this thread.

    Sounds like something either got deleted or corrupted beyond recognition. Have you tried a restore point like the message stated? If not, that might be a good place to start.

    I thought the System Files Modified Error was was eliminated as of v11

    Right click your v8.8.1 zip file and look at properties. Make sure the file is Un-blocked.

    What are you trying to install this on?

    Are any of the connections using Display Port (DP)?

    What tuner, driver, firmware?

    I installed the Lav filters and it didn't make any difference. Do I have to make changes to WMC for the codec to be used?

    You need to make a decision. Two choices WMC or the silicondust DVR project. If you want WMC you need to go back to the old firmware 2015 August

    Edit Post....Delete...will remove the double.

    BS. I am running WMC on Windows 10 10586 with HDHR-3CC firmware 20161117. Am able to get premium channels via Cable Card. No need to go back to 2015 firmware at all.

    Has anyone tried installing this on one of those Intel compute sticks? Would like to get it to work on one of those.

    Has there been any updates or changes on WMC for Windows 10 in the last few months, or is it just all troubleshooting ??

    Still would love to see WMC over RDP in full screen to show softsled type thing (expand to full screen and see video play over RDP), on Windows 7 or 8.1 that does not break extenders....

    As I lost WMC on WIndows 10 due to the update and Ceton tuners no longer work.... would love to do RDP so I can watch TV from my Windows 10 PC :)

    Has there been any advancement on this or are we still in the same spot... I miss the active days here :(


    Possibly, if it runs a intel based CPU (x86/x64), it should run. Atom CPUs would need to be tested but, what are you going to use for a tuner ? Do you have a driver that will work with a atom CPU ??

    Watching TV is one thing but, recording would be another thing, with MicroSD storage (that is never that fast) for recording or live TV buffer...could be another bottle neck.

    Lots of questions but, would love to hear if someone got it to work on a PC that just plugs into a HDMI port or even someone who tried.

    Thanks for eliminating 20161117 firmware as being the problem.

    If it can't be the firmware, what is the guys problem?
