Adobe Premiere Elements 14 not starting after Windows 10 Update! Search for urgent help

Question

On my Windows 10 machine (64 Bit) I do use Premiere Elements for more than a year. However, after I installed most recent Windows 10 Update, it does not start any more.

It stops the starting process telling me that it is not starting and that it will inform me when a solution has been found.

So it is now worthless as it does not start.

I workd with 14,1... an also tried to delete and reinstall the origional 14,0 Version from Disc. Still the same error. No Chance to start the application again. What can I do. Please help!

An idea that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10... works for some, not for others

-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window

-or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL Windows permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)

-or more on permissions https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2293598

Owners of old programs simply have problems with Windows 10... none of which is Adobe's fault... Adobe did not change your old program to make it stop working... Microsoft changed their operating system and THAT is why your old program won't work, not because of anything Adobe did... Also... every time Microsoft issues a Win10 update, there is the risk that an old program that HAS been working after the initial Win10 upgrade will STOP working... bottom line, old programs require a matching old operating system
