Once again, major windows 10 update leaves me unable to open CS6 - which is my livelihood. Any suggestions? I downloaded new drivers after the last major Win 10 update about 10 months ago - after searching for days and days to find help.

Have tried reinstalling Microsoft Visual C++, but the version I have on my computer is newer than the versions I can find to download.
HELP. PLEASE!

CS6 simply does not support Windows 10 (cf https://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5595 ). Is there a reason that you can't use Creative Cloud as Adobe suggests ( http://www.adobe.com/products/cs6.html )

I understand that this may be your business, but that doesn't obligate Adobe to continue to update old products. You might be able to run it if you have a Windows 8 machine that you can keep from upgrading to 10, but Microsoft will eventually desupport 8 and you will be back in the same pickle.
