Login error in win 10

[mcguy39]

Hi y'all.

Hope you all are having a good day.

I'm kind'a puzzled here.

I usually use Win 7. Never could like win 10 with all its bloatware and telemetry crap. My **** is my ****. Not to be exploited by anyone..

How ever, using F360 in win 7 can be a pain in the butt sometimes. First you get that "not supported" crap when you start, not such a big deal. But then you have a bucket of bugs, from the edit sketch bug to all the " can't compute" and other things that F360 wont do in Win 7. So I did a clean install of win 10 as a second OS, and installed F360 there.

And this is a clean install. No extra app or programs what so ever.

So, I try to start F360 there, and get the "Sign in Failure: There was an error logging in" error.

And clicking on the "help" line pasted in that box are about as helpful as a perforated rain coat.

It only comes up with a lot of anti virus and 3rd party stuff, wich I don't have.

In the log files it sais something about

"PROXY: failed to query IE proxy configuration - URL-adress dont use an approved protocoll"

and

"Empty login url"..

Tried to disable firewall, but to no awail. And, honestly, in a clean and untouched install, messing around with firewall settings should not be nessersary.

So, how come F360 is completele useless in win 10 and "not supported" in win 7?

Am I going to have to turn to other CAD/CAM software?

Hope someone has a reasonable solution to this. Google wasn't much help either.

@mcguy39, Fusion 360 will work with security protection like Windows Defender and its firewall out-of-the box, but it sounds like your Windows 10 installation might have a proxy configured (or partially-configured). You can check Windows' proxy configuration by going to Run (Windows key + R) and entering ms-settings:network-proxy. Ensure that the proxy configuration and detection are both off/blank before attempting to start Fusion once more.

As far as Windows 7 support goes - end of support also extends to development frameworks, and in turn trickles down to us as application developers, meaning that improving our product inevitably means consuming newer versions of tools and libraries that do not support legacy systems. End of support does not mean you are blocked from installing the product's latest updates due to technical limitations (though, on macOS the two usually coincide), but it does indicate that customer usage of the platform has sank enough that time spent bug testing and fixing might be better focused where they impact the most users.

Thanks for answering, mate. Sounds like something I have not tried yet. Odd, though, that a clean windows 10 install can't run it but old, trusty, win 7 can.

Oh, well. I'll give it a try next time I switch to win 10 and let you know how it went. And if it went pearshaped, I'll upload the log file. Some is in norwegian, but most are understandable.

Have a nice evening.
