Learned about the Sensei addon in a comment section under a YouTube video. The person had responded to one of my comments about how Blender continues to update to new versions several times a year, making the learning curve a never ending story. He seems to like the Sensei plugin as he calls it, and judging from the oriental characters his username is in, I think he might just be the person that created it. So I did a search for info on it, as heddheld here knows I always do before committing to anything. (hello my friend). Found this forum, and read the comments to learn about what it does to Blender. Well from what I learned here, I don't think getting it will be an option for me. I prefer to stick with the default User Interface and hotkey arrangement. Good luck to those that like the Sensei plugin.

Thanks for the review to all commenting on it.

Caution always helps to prevent one from doing something that may return undesired results.

My Windows Defender is currently switched off, because my Nortons is doing its job instead. Likely my Nortons switched my Windows Defender off.

Is Windows 11 affected by this bug?

You mean "Is Poser 11 affected by this bug?" The answer to that is "No." Poser 11 does not use Adobe Flash or Air. Poser 10, Poser 2014, and several earlier versions do use Adobe Flash, and that is why they are affected.

According to a PC World article I read, Windows Defender is the best overall protection available for Windows 10. As updates for Windows 10 are automatic and come in quite often, I would look into the effects of interaction between Windows Defender and Norton if I were you. It pays to know what is really happening, rather than hazarding a guess.

In my own experience I found that most different makes of protection software normally conflict with each other, even to the point of treating the others as malware. One that plays nice with most others is the aforementioned Malwarebytes (recommended). With Windows Defender and Malwarebytes, you should have really great protection.

Does my virus checker (Norton) or firewall stop these updates from working until it gets around to virus-checking them?

Are you sure that Norton is not conflicting with the Windows 10 builtin protection software? I think it's called Defender, and it is an upgraded version of Microsoft Security Essentials. It actively monitors your machine. If you have another protection software, you need to check to see if it will work with Defender. Malwarebytes will.

Although I'm no expert, I think I read somewhere (maybe here at the Renderosity forums) that in order for the updates to take effect, the computer must be restarted, and when you uninstall the offensive update, you must restart your computer immediately after that. At least that last part has been posted by several here and elsewhere. I also read that the update reinstalls unless you download that update hide thingy mentioned earlier in this thread, and run it to hide the offensive update(s). Doing that supposedly ensures that the update won't reinstall on your machine.

If PP2014 has been set to external Library in it's general preferences, it will still work normally. However, the Library scroll bars will behave erratically or not function at all.

I had heard that too, but as I do not have Poser 2014, I cannot testify to it's performance when you set it up that way. I just think this problem needs a permanent fix ASAP!

According to a friend who is well informed and I trust at another site, the fault is not that of Microsoft, but belongs to Adobe! It seems that any fix released by Microsoft will not work simply because the problem stems from an Adobe Flash Update that has been adapted to supposedly work with Windows 10! Certain applications that use Adobe Flash are suffering immediate crashes due to something in the update that was incorrectly written. Unfortunately it is affecting several versions of Poser up to and including Poser 9, Poser 10, and Poser 2014. Others are also likely affected: however, all versions of Poser 11 are unaffected, as they do not use Flash.

"full instructions on how to uninstall the culprit Windows 10 Security update" Go to start menu. Choose Settings. Choose Update and security. Choose Advanced Options. Choose View Update History. Choose uninstall updates. A list of updates will appear: Find KB3132372... easiest to find by date (Dec 29 to present, depending on whether your machine was on or not) Select the update and click uninstall. It will ask if you are sure, and you are.

Note: not a perfect fix. Windows 10 will try to reinstall it PDQ. See this thread :"Sticky: Latest WIN 10 update (KB3132372) prevents poser 10 from working, 2016 Jan 02 6:12 am" : See entry from EAQS on how to hide the update.

Be aware that this is still not a perfect solution: once the update is hidden, Windows 10 may continue to periodically reboot to attempt reinstall (if computer is left inactive for any length of time) . Never get up without saving your work. It's a pain. If anyone out there knows how to fix this second problem, Please let us know.

Wish I knew more...

Much appreciated! I have only had Windows 10 for a couple of weeks yet, and I'm still learning my way around it. So much that I had setup in Windows 7 was changed when I got Windows 10, that I'm having to go around my elbow to get to my thumb to find them. Although I like Windows 10 so far, it is putting a slowdown on my work flow!

I need full instructions on how to uninstall the culprit Windows 10 Security update, and how to keep it from reinstalling. My Poser 10 is not able to open past the intro screen, and I get that Poser EXE File Error message. I've read several posts naming the file and telling me to uninstall it, and in another thread here I read that to keep it from reinstalling I need to get something from Microsoft that lets you hide an update so it won't reinstall. No one is posting step by step instructions on this, and I cannot find the place where the uninstalling can be done.

I just got Windows 10 less than a month ago, and I'm still trying to learn my way around. Some of it is really confusing to me! Now Poser 10 gets disabled by a security update for Windows 10? I have not yet learned much in Poser!

I'm one that does not like having to learn a new way to do something that worked well for me the old way. I have a lot going on in my life, and taking the time to learn a new way to navigate a site I have visited daily for years is just digging into my time for other pursuits!

This problem is not just being talked about here at Renderosity. I've seen comment containing complaints at many sites we artists visit. This cat is already out of the bag, figuratively speaking, and on the internet there is no way to put it back in!

To the Administrators and/or Managers of Renderosity: If you care as much as you say you do about your vendors and your customers, you will listen to what we are saying about the current state of this site, and you will fix it in a manner that is acceptable to the majority. To do any less is to lose business, and I'm sure you do not want to do that!

Ouch! A lot of people here with heavy complaints! Ouch! The site managers are mysteriously not responding! Ouch! As much as I don't wish to say this, the people complaining are right! Ouch! It seems the Site Managers think a site navigating tutorial is a good fix for the problem! Ouch! I can't get my head wrapped around these strange changes!
So who is responsible for this giant mess of a new design, that is alienating most users, both Vendor and Customer?
Need to go lie down now!

Thank you for your response. I am getting a lot of great news on this. I found good news because of you folks! Because of it, I have purchased the product and am looking forward to getting it installed.

Thanks friends. I am seeing from you what I was hoping for. I was wondering if there has been any other users of DS that have any experience with this product. Even so, as this product is a Hard Body model I figure it is most likely made using several part OBJs. (Like some of the Mechs I have purchased over in the DAZ Store.) This is a good thing for this type of model because in means that moving parts will not affect adjacent ones in adverse ways. At least in my experience, this is the case. The rigging is more about where the origin or pivot points are located within each particular part OBJ. 

Quote - And it's released now, very cool.

I know. I have yet to get it as I have been busy with other things. Will be going for it soon though.

I was told it had been released already. Sorry, I jumped the gun with my last post. I went to Blender.org and found the version available is the RC version. (RC= Release Candidate) I too shall wait for the official release.

Quote - I am using Blender 2.65 and Windows 7, also ttf fonts, and I follow the procedure you describe. We probably did the same tutorials. It works for me. Is there a specific reason why you are using 2.64?

I had not been notified of the latest builds, even though I set up my account to notify me at Blender.org. So I missed 2.65 altogether. If it had not been for my good friend HeddHeld, I would not know that 2.66 has now been released. I plan to go get it ASAP. Then maybe the fonts will work the way they should. I have several fonts I want to use in Blender. The default Blender font is just too plain, if you know what I mean!
