    I've been running my Flex 5K on Win10 since day 1 with no problems. Also the Darrin, KE9NS PSDR software is solid. CPU usage is minimal.

    A guy needs a dedicated computer for Flex, take it off internet and never update.

    I guess I'm one of the lucky ones mentioned above. But, I can only comment on practical experience. I use Win10 to drive scanners, cameras, routers, NAP3 LPAN2 with a Xonar sound card interfaced to my FTDX-5000 , PSDR with the Flex 5000 and both systems running WSJT-X and using FT8, Olivia, Contestia, PSK, etc. Oh yes, N1MM too. If I forgot to mention something, it runs on Win10 also.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
