My capacity to explain the varying behaviour of the VirtualStore in W10 is hampered by the fact that my only install of W10 is in a virtual machine. Unlike you, I remain wary of W10. I created the VM so that I could at least verify that all the specialist programs that I rely on (Gretagmacbeth Match3, Measure Tool, QTR, etc) would work, should I choose to upgrade at some stage. I was mindful of the experience of Mac users, where OS upgrades have had a nasty habit of breaking programs like these, permanently in some cases. The good news is that they all work, save for QTR curve creation and the VirtualStore.

There was at least one other report here about the VirtualStore problem, so I assume it's not just me. The only explanation for the difference between your system's behaviour and mine is that upgrading is different to a fresh install in this respect.

As for version numbers, what you have is up-to-date. Back when QTR first burst on the scene, on Windows it was just a command line program. Then Steve Billard created an freeware GUI interface for it. The two were developed and released separately, although Steve tried to keep QTRGui updated for any enhancements in QTR. At some point Roy incorporated it directly into the Windows release, so that you install them together. It's my understanding that at around that point, development of QTRGui ceased. I haven't seen Steve around online for a very, very long time. It's a bit of a shame, as this means no likelihood of changes to the GUI interface, since Roy is not a Windows programmer. So for example, QTRGui has not been updated for the x900 ten-ink printers. Thus it is. We are grateful for what we have, or else we might have to defect to the dark side.
