Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 09 3:34 pm)
This is exactly the same thing that is happening with me on Poser 10. I have been using it for months without any issues. Windows 10 did an update and now Poser 10 will not load, I get the same error message that says Poser executable has stopped working. I tried deleteing the preferences, uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing works since the windows 10 update on Dec 29th. It started crashing today Dec. 31st. The Windows 10 update is the only thing that has changed on my computer recently.
Note from Smith Micro on this issue
Microsoft released a brand new update the other day, KB3132372, that massively reconfigures how Flash works, thereby breaking the Flash functionality in Poser, resulting in the program crashing on startup. The engineers are looking into this Microsoft update to see what can be done about it, but in the meanwhile you would need to uninstall the KB3132372 update if you wish to keep using Poser. If you wish to keep your system secure even without that update, then this Microsoft article talks about what you can do to achieve the same security without having KB3132372 installed. However, since this is an automatic Microsoft update, chances are it will automatically reinstall itself again in the near future.

Uninstall an Update
The option to uninstall Windows Updates (not driver updates) is buried in the Settings app. Open Settings and navigate to Update & security > Windows Update > Advanced options > View your update history. You’ll see a link reading “Uninstall updates” at the top of the update history list.
(In the Windows Insider Preview, there was also a link here for uninstalling the latest build. If Microsoft rolls out a big update to Windows 10 as a “build” again, you might see a link right under “Uninstall updates” for rolling back to an earlier build.)
This link takes you to the “Uninstall an update” dialog, where you can uninstall an individual Windows Update if it’s causing problems on your system.
Disable Automatic Download of Drivers from Windows Update
There’s still a “Never install driver software from Windows Update” option in the final version of Windows 10, buried in the old Control Panel.
Different people report different luck with this option. Some people report that it prevents Windows from overwriting their custom-installed drivers, while others report that Windows continues downloading drivers even after this option is selected. If Windows keeps replacing your own drivers with its own, be sure to try this option.
Depending on how the driver is being installed, it may arrive as an update from Windows Update afterwards. Use the tool below to disable the driver update if this doesn’t help.
To access this option, open the Control Panel by right-clicking the Start button and selecting Control Panel. Navigate to System and Security > System > Advanced system settings. Click the Hardware tab, click Device Installation Settings, and select the “No, let me choose what to do option. Select “Never install driver software from Windows Update.”

Running poser pro on Windows 10 successfully for many months on current rig. No issues. Today it has stopped working with above error message. Removed preference files and tried restarting same issue. This occurred on 64 bit version but 32 bit version appears to be broken as well. I know in the past there were issues related to IE 11 but that does not appear to be on my system just MS Edge. I did recently install Z brush but I'm pretty sure Poser was working even after that. Any ideas Poser community. I have also sent an email to Smith Micro.
