The general release was planned for Oct.9th, so most users should be safe.

I received a mail warning from AVID last week warning users of their software, Media Composer, Pro-Tools and Sibelius, not to install the update because it prevents said software from working correctly - the warning was also posted on their Forum.  These are products that are being used in the production of Hollywood films, TV productions around the world  and in major sound recording studios. The free AVID software - Media Composer|First and Pro-Tools|First are also affected.Thankfully AVID get a pre-release version for testing and always warn users if there are any known issues with an update. These warnings are "normally" only sent to Apple OS users because it seems that Apple are always screwing up something with new releases. The only time that I had such a warning regarding anything Windows was when 10 was first available, it took AVID about 2 months after release to get Media Composer working with it, since then there don't seem to have been any problems - serious or not.

Microsoft seems to have really screwed up this time though, and I am very glad that a professional company like AVID takes their customers' well being, and livelihood,  seriously.
