Hi Evarest,

Thank you for the info! I had no prior experience with Windows 10 N.

Hi ,

we had some more detailed discussions offline, but here is the result for anyone having issues running Unreal4AR. As a reminder, I got Unreal4AR working, but the moment I would start the project, the whole thing would crash without clear error message. I could however run it on other PCs, so the problem seemed to be located on one PC.

After a long time, I finally found out what was the problem with this PC.

This PC has installed Windows 10 Enterprise N. The N means that certain packages do not come preinstalled. Apparently, Windows Media Pack does not come preinstalled, which means that for example, a smartphone connected to the PC will not show up in Explorer. This is to enable enterprises to disable access to USB devices.

As a result, the project naturally got into trouble finding the camera. Now that I installed this Windows Media Pack, all works fine!

The learning for me also is that if I have specific issues on any PC, I need to double check it has nothing to do with packages not installed due to the version of Windows.

Thanks again for your help! It’s a great project!
