Rob,
Thank you for the update. You mention MP3 and MP4 widgets will crash but does this include the issues with dragging a simple MP4 video file on to a page and will be addressed with an update from Xara?

Dragging an mp4 onto your document will create the widget to play it. We are waiting a fix from MS to fix the crashing so no patch for that but in order for mp3/4 files to use HTML5 first instead of flash we will need to release a patch. I can't say when this would be (if we can get it approved), releasing a patch is not an overnight feat.
If you are desperate, you could remove kb3132372 from your system which would then work, however MS will install it again soon after. Details on how to do this are in the previous article.
I myself had high hopes for Win10, but will shortly be returning to Win7 lol
The following work around will enable you to hide the update in windows 10 and ensure it will not install again as a temporary measure. Here is the link from microsoft on how to hide the update from installing. There is a standalone program to hide the update. It has affected not only Xara but a lot of applications world wide

Thanks mysteryspy2001
Indeed it appears the problem is resolved however we will keep the report open and monitor the widgets / work towards moving away from flash.
Apologies for all the inconvenience caused.
Thanks
