Hi there,
Last week my system updated to Windows 10 home version 1703, OS build 15063.413. I am a heavy user of Protools audio software, using Protools 8.0.5. After the update Protools won't launch, giving the error "Could not complete your request because Access Violation - no RTTI data!".
I rolled back to Win10 version 1607 (build 14393.1358). Everything works again.
I could buy the latest Protools, but it's expensive. About $800 plus $100 per year licence for the plugins I already have with a perpetual licence. Windows update 1703 will break something that is perfectly fine and expensive to replace so I really don't want to do it.
Can I stop that update?
Alternatively, can anyone point me to a good guide for setting up a dual boot machine - I could then run Pro tools out of a Windows 7 boot. At least until I either work out how to get round the Win10 problem or save up enough cash to buy the latest software.
Thanks heaps!

Thank so for the replies... pro tools uses FireWire to connect the audio interface. Had a look at VMware and virtualbox and these don't support FireWire.
Meantime I've turned off windows update in services until I figure out what to do. Hopefully that means it won't go back to 1703 next time I switch off!
