[FIXED!] Fusion 360 Will Not Launch on Windows Insider Preview builds

[James.Youmatz]

Hi all,

UPDATED: THIS ISSUE HAS NOW BEEN RESOLVED WITH THE LATEST 19541 FAST RING BUILD THANKS TO A FIX BY MICROSOFT.

I know there have been a lot of posts around this, but wanted to create an official thread from me that was clean to read. At this time - Fusion 360 is unable to start on pre-release versions of Microsoft Windows 10 (Windows Insider Preview program) from builds 19025 and later. 

We worked with Microsoft very early on, and were able to identify and confirm the issue with Microsoft. Microsoft let us know, that this is to be fixed in a future development preview of Windows 10.

Unfortunately - at this time, no workaround for Insider Preview builds exists, but I will update this thread as soon as I know of a working version. Anyone not currently enrolled in preview builds are unaffected by this. I advise to roll back or restore to a production release of Windows 10 until the issue is confirmed fixed.

I understand this issue is very pressing to those of you on the Insider Previewer, and know that Microsoft is working very hard to get this resolved. You can track Microsoft's latest builds in development via the Windows Insider Flight Hub. I did want to note - per the article on Windows 10 Insider Preview Compatibility, these builds are not officially supported by Autodesk, including Apple Public Beta program, and should be used with caution.
