Some windows updates can actually mess with the HDMI output settings and driver settings. We recommend disabling all Automatic Windows Updates.

Go to Control Panel, Window Update, then on left side click on "Change Settings", then select "Never Check for Updates" and press OK.

Wish i would have read this earlier. Had a windows update and didn't think anything of it. I had two prints fail back to back. Stupid windows changed my projector off of Full RGB so my entire build area was curing as the print was happening. Luckily its an easy fix. But boy-howdy am i sick of windows.

One way, is to just disconnect the internet from your printing pc. Don't need it.

I'm thinking of doing that. No internet. It's just easier for me since I design at home and put my files in Dropbox. When I tried using a memory stick, half the time I would forget to take it to work. I will just have to transfer from one of my work computers to the Solus computer.

Windows 10 has demons. I had updates turned off. But somehow it got turned back on. There is no way to stop an update once it downloads itself. It hides in special folders. Does not go into Download folder like it use to.

I agree that Windows 10 has demons.

Will there be support for Mac in the future?

I have pretty much stripped my laptop down to bare bones to run the printer. Everything is turned off I mean everything. I will do the same when the new laptop gets here for the second printer.

I've turned off my updates.. wish I had seen this earlier. I keep getting failed prints. My fixed up my video settings. Is there anything in the driver to fix?

Sometimes a major update would update the Intel graphics drivers and reset the settings for the Full Rgb. Just follow the instructions in the setup manual to enable Full Rgb again.

In rare instances the driver can get corrupted and even though you enable full rgb from the Intel graphics options, in actuality it won't be enabled.

One way to check for the full rgb is to look at the blank projection (by laying a piece of paper on the quartz window or pointing the projector on the wall) and disconnecting the HDMI cable from the back of the projector. If the intensity of the projection gets dimmer, that means the full rgb is not enabled. If it remains the same, then it's enabled.
