I bit the bullet, sold the Z820 and am going to stick my current 5960x workstation into a 4U shorty case with a 1080 and assign it double duty as a render node and traveler workstation. While less portable than a laptop (I work 99% of the time in Toronto), I have become increasingly interested in (obsessed with) Isadora and think this change will make for a very sizable change in performance. Thanks again @DusX for the information you shared. 

@jtsteph Hi,Great stuff, I love the way you have put the documentation together. It is really in its own world.Best Wishes Bonemap 

SOLVED I went on a long overdue uninstall binge and found the issue finally.  LAV Filters - ffmpeg based DirectShow Splitter and Decode Everything is working as it should now. I had the LAV filters installed for some ffmpeg work I was doing. I don;t think I need them for anything at the moment, but will flag this for the future. - J

After a recent Windows 10 update, to version 1803, my Kinect 2 stopped working properly: it would power off every five or seven seconds, power back up, detect users, then power down again. Basically useless for person tracking.One could see this just from the white lights on the front of the sensor turning on, then off again.Scouring the Microsoft Kinect Development forums I found the solution, which is, bizarrely, that you have to keep the microphone on the Kinect enabled.I share this in case anyone else encounters this:First check if the audio is disabled from Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Recording -> Kinect Microphone. It should be enabled. Next, open the Microsoft Store Camera app - you will have to physically disconnect or disable any other cameras you may have attached to computer, eg webcam - and under Setting -> Change privacy settings -> Microphone -> Allow apps to access your microphone -> enable the microphone. This should resolve it.You can verify this visually, and also by using the Kinect Configuration Verifier in the Kinect SDK Browser.HTHMark in Brexshit Britain

@julio_parente  Unfortunately the files were not uploaded to our server - the logs show an error attempting to connect to our server. Hopefully they are still in the folder where the CrashRpt system puts them, which is here: C:\Users/YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\CrashRpt\UnsentCrashReports which according to the logs above are at C:\Users\Play\AppData\Local\CrashRpt\UnsentCrashReports\Isadora_2.5.2\ The names of the files I need are: c5aa950c-bce1-4e1c-a03c-afcdb4d6589e.zipf56c99de-794b-4117-8427-69393b972168.zipf3350635-9f37-4f52-a082-21f1c130d130.zipfc9f5507-be95-4949-aea9-a259f8b3cd29.zip9b70597d-12af-4734-8e1c-351186d015fc.zip If you get me the right files I can work on the problem.
