All my Poser and Daz3d mapped drive references are ruined by Windows update changing the drive letters for my external drives where my runtimes are installed !!

Can't you go back and just reassign the drive designations to the previous?

PITA, I understand, but likely better than having to go into each piece of software to change paths.

OK - it could be a motherboard thing, because my other PC hasn't changed external drive letters at all. And yes, I did go change the affected external drive letters back. Ugh.

It is not just the October Update, I have had several times since switching to Windows 10 where the OS has randomly changed an external drive, or flash drives letter for no apparent reason. While it is annoying it is what it is. I'm more annoyed that due to it being older hardware and end of life by the manufacturers that I can no longer use my printer or scanner in Windows 10.

Another good reason for me to never update to Win10. ~shakes head~

BTW, welcome to the HiveWire forums BrotherHades. ;)
