Official workaround for HiveMind & WIndows 10 Configuration Issue

All,

This was a major issue that we had to get support from the broader Microsoft community on how to get this fixed. I apologize it took this long to track this down and get a workaround. 

We now have a workaround registry edit that fixes Microsoft's bug. A simple registry add is located here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bizpsz4m4j2d4v9/Win-10-Update-Fix-For-Alpha.re_?dl=0 This registry edit restores the ability for 32-bit apps to access certain class files inside of Windows. 
If you would like specifics on the bug it can be found here:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33717673/system-directoryservices-accountmanagement-principalcontext-broken-after-windows

Steps to install on Windows 10:

  1. Download the file and change the extension from .re_ to .reg
  2. Double click the .reg file to install the key
  3. Run HiveMind Installer -OR- Run HiveMind UI to configure the system
  4. Celebrate

Wait so I can reinstall hivemind now? Does this fix the problem with the never ending white loading circle after picking  "console mode"

That's exactly what it fixes. We have tested it for about a week now and it seems to be good.

It does solve the endless circle problem, and I can successfully finish installing the HiveMind UI, and there will be  a new "Alpha Console" account on the login window,  but when I click this account it just goes black screen. It's not really black screen, when press alt+Tab, you can see there is a process running , which is  "Remoting Service Controller".

So, still, I'm not able to run the console mode. Really annoying.

update:

I suspect the reason for the black screen is Kodi. Before I download and try HIVEMIND, I have Kodi-16.0 already installed. But when I launch Kodi(click the shortcut of Kodi 16.0), Kodi 14.0 shows up, which is used by HIVEMIND.

I'll uninstall Kodi 16.0, and try reinstall HIVEMIND.

Thank goodness thank you so much for this this will help me a lot when I setting up my second alpha. Since it doesn't ship with hive mind anymore or so I have heard.

@Marcuroo

If Kodi is installed it will cause issues. We are updating to Jarvis (Kodi 16) right now and we'll have an updated installer in the next month or so to test out.
