No support for Windows 10 and yes, I know they do not support new OS until they are released to the public. Apps for W10 are supposed to be compatible if they are compatible with earlier versions Windows... Even at this early stage. WRSC was compatible with Windows 10 9860 but not  9879... Hum, wonder what changed.

Hello Bill_R,

Welcome to the Webroot Community,

Just uninstall Webroot and then upgrade to10130 and reinstall Webroot again and you'll be fine. With Windows Preview upgrades this needs to be done. I'm running Windows Preview with Webroot without any issues.

Hope this helps,

Kind Regards,
I just needed to do the double download with build 10130.
Windows 10 blocked it by filenamesaying incompatible. Seems to be working fine and Webroot said the system was compatible.

I will do that. I was searching WSAC if there was any hidden option to generate the log.
 
Anytime Buddy!

Hi @ 
 
Can you run Webroot’s Log Gathering Tool and put your email address in it and after it's finished uploading then Submit a Support Ticket with the same email address and say @ requested to upload logs and even add the link to this post and Nic will make sure the right person will get the info.

WSALogs Log Gathering Tool Download Link: http://download.webroot.com/wsalogs.exe

Thanks,

Daniel 🙂

Would you be able to contact support and upload your logs for us?

Just to follow up, the block is based on filename, apparently.  Renaming the .exe allows for install.  So, for those that downloaded it twice, the one with a 1 after it would likely allow the install.  This isn't a fix, but is at least a workaround. 
 
Back when it was suggested to me, I submitted the info to Support.  They thanked me for the submission, and that was it.
 
The ntfs.sys error is something that I saw very sporadically in the original Win10 build, though it did happen more frequently when using OneNote, as well as when coming out of sleep.

I haven't seen that issue either actually WSA works perfectly on my 2 Win 10 Previews both 32bit & 64bit Build 9926 on VM's.

Nope it did not help. I srongly guess it is Installer error.. somehow the setup downloaded is incomplete.
Why else would one copy of the same installer works and others do not.
Also Internet download manager is not downloading the installer for me from that link.

Yep, just go here:

Let them know you're on Windows 10.
The BSOD with error SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (ntfs.sys) I always get because the any new build needs to get the files Whitelisted and now it is for 64bit I will check the 32bit version soon!

I had uninstalled WSAC and now I am facing the same issue.
I am not able to install due to program incompatibility (with UAC disabled)
Also no BSOD since..
 
I think there is some issue with this installer download link
http://anywhere.webrootcloudav.com/zerol/wsainstall.exe
The setup I downloaded now gave the incompatibility error, but the one I downloaded yesterday is working fine!!

I installed WSA on my Win 10 without any issues or having to make any setting changes to the OS.
