After update to Win 10 build 10586.164 drivers not compatible

So, I fixed it!

Sorry arampon, this appears to be completely my end.

I installed some software and in doing so it managed to change certain aspects of PATH and PATHEXT in Environment Variables!

The incredibly odd thing about it was, that I installed this software almost a week prior to the issue occurring, but 'assume' that Windows update caused the problem to become more apparent as it then could not find the correct variables.

Upon returning the missing PATH variables and extensions, a restart, a fresh uninstall and then an install of M5 - everything worked.

My apologies again for running you around the block - sadly, because of the delay in the issue, I was not able to associate that change with the issue I got with the display.

Maybe for anyone in the future with a similar problem can check that any recently installed software changed these variables.

Thanks for all your help.
