AutoCAD 2014 was not designed to run in Windows 10 (Windows 10 was released after AutoCAD 2014) and inevitably you will run into issues such as the infamous Ribbon crashing issue, slow startup problems, text scaling issues, etc.
You can automatically solve these problems using our Longbow Converter App, it fixes and manages the AutoCAD 2014 installation so that you can be up and running again… Just follow these easy instructions:
As I’ve worked my way through the various oddities of Windows 10, I’ve found that most applications work great. For the most part, anything that worked on Windows 7 works on Windows 10. Visual Basic 6 (VB6) has been one of the few exceptions. Yet, installing VB6 on Windows 10 is possible. This tutorial will walk you through the necessary steps. Click on Installation Apply Changes as shown in the picture below. Wait for the process to complete. Once you see successful installation message close the window. Windows 10 Server. If you like windows server: 1- VM with a pre-installed nextcloud instance, or a start from scratch - install linux, configure, install webserver, database server and nextcloud 2- Docker for windows. On other words, having.NET 4.6 installed (it's part of Windows 10 so you need not manually install it) means you have.NET 4.0, 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.5.2 and 4.6 installed and can run code targeting any of those framework versions without making any modifications to your Windows installation.

These instructions were originally written or installing HomeBridge on Windows 10, 64 bit. They should also work for earlier versions of Windows.
** Update April 24, 2019 - As Homebridge and NodeJS have evolved, it has, fortunately, become easier to install Homebridge! With the 4.51 update to hap-nodejs, several steps in the earlier installation procedure have been simplified and thus have been eliminated from these instructions.
** There are a number of steps that say to use Windows Command Prompt. Do NOT try to use Windows PowerShell instead. The install will fail if Windows PowerShell is used instead of Command Prompt. **
You should perform the following steps using the account that you will use to run HomeBridge. This is because, by default, certain HomeBridge modules are installed in the logged-in user's account at: C:Users your user name AppDataRoamingnpmnode_modules and will not be accessible from other Windows accounts. I've found it helpful to set up a specific Windows 'user' just for the running of HomeBridge (e.g., set up a new user under the login name 'HomeBridge' or something like that, and then do the installation when logged in as that user).
A. Install Nodejs
These Windows install instructions have been tested with the v8.x.x series of node so its recommended that you use a version in that series or later. Earlier version of NodeJS may work but haven’t been tested.
The latest version of NodeJS appears to work (12.0.0 as of the last update to this page). You can download it here: https://nodejs.org/
B. Install Homebridge
Now install homebridge from a new Windows Command Prompt using the command:
C. Test Homebridge
Open a new Windows Command Prompt (yes, it must be a newly opened one - don't re-use the prompt from preceding steps) and enter the command:
You should see some text displayed and a QR code. If so, HomeBridge installed correctly.
D. Install Plugin
Once homebridge is installed, you are ready to install your plugins. The following instructions are to install the 'HomeSeer' plugin, but you can also follow a similar pattern for other plugins.
First, if you used a prior HomeSeer plugin, you must remove it before installing this plugin using, e.g.,:
npm -g uninstall homebridge-homeseer
npm -g uninstall homebridge-homeseer-plugin
Then, to install the 'new' HomeSeer plugin, enter the following command from the Windows Command Prompt:
During installation, you may see a number of warning messages displayed in yellow text. You can ignore those.

E. File Locations
Windows 10 Update
You will now need to create a config.json file for homebridge. By default, this should be placed in the folder:c:users [Your Root User Directory] .homebridge
