Autoplay Media Studio 8.5 won't work

... Something appears to be blocking it from running or intercepting it and shutting it down. AMS 8.5 is a program for creating other programs which creates an autorun.exe to do so. .... Created apps will run on another machine, but not on this one...

My first suspicion would be that 'this one' has Controlled Folder Access turned on.

Hello @LeeBos, and welcome to Ten Forums.

I'm afraid a repair install will not help with a 3rd party software issue.

You might post this issue in the Software forum area to see if someone may be able to help with it.

I forgot to mention, booting into Safe Mode allows the program to function correctly. I don't think the third party app is broken but rather something in Windows 10 is blocking it.

Turning it to Off did not fix the problem. Actually it was already Off. Turning it On produced an error telling me access was denied.

That is one remarkably expensive piece of software:


I'm sure it must be well supported- have you tried contacting Indigo Rose's support?

I no longer have an active support license, so no direct support from the developers. But I have posted to the Forums.

And I don't think it's an AMS 8.5 fault, but something on this particular laptop since it works on my desktop.

I no longer have an active support license, too expensive. But I have poster to the AMS forums.

And I don't think it's an AMS 8.5 problem as it works on my desktop. Something on this laptop is stopping it.

It won't hurt anything to try a repair install if you wanted to.

Thanks, I'll do an image backup first then try.

A full image backup took almost 20 hours.

After that I performed a Clean Boot disabling all but Microsoft services. AMS 8.5 still not working correctly. So I guess one could conclude it is a Microsoft service that's killing AMS 8.5 preview and apps from running.

Is this a good assumption?

It could be, but could also still be an issue with the software on that computer for some reason.

Well, just finished the repair-install. It did not solve the problem.

There must be a way to find what is stopping the autorun.exe created by AMS 8.5 only.
