Question asked on Oct 14, 2016

Hi,

I have been using Movie Maker just fine on W10 - since the latest update, it won't open - it just says "The directory name is not valid"

Have tried restarting etc. to no avail. It won't let me uninstall the program due to the same error. 

Please help - I've used this for a long time for basic video editing and other options do not compare!

Thanks in advance

Mike
