Yes, every time I do a mix...     I also run into issues sometimes with OpenGL. I can't upgrade my graphics card.  It's waaaay past time to upgrade my DAW PC!

Or maybe they diffreneciate windows 8 and 8.1 ?

Working as a programmer and we're doing the same. Win 7 actually got a support extension because it was popular.

Both windows 7 and 8 (not 8.1) support are expiring in early 2020.

Checked both C:\Temp and C:\Windows\Temp (wasn't clear from your post) and I'm not seeing any files created when I run/close Studio One Pro 4.6.

Windows 8.1 falls under the same lifecycle policy as Windows 8, and will reach end of Mainstream Support on January 9, 2018, and end of Extended Support on January 10, 2023. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/18581/lifecycle-faq-windows-products

I agree, since Win 8.1 doesn't reach end of extended support until Jan 10, 2023 (3 more years).

From the same page:
"customers on Windows 8 have two years, until January 12, 2016, to move to Windows 8.1 in order to remain supported."

So windows 8 support is actually being officially retired.

Now the software I code for at work on still runs on windows 8 (as well as 7) we simply no longer support it and no longer test it and it may well stop running on those versions at some point.

My bad on saying Windows 8 (not 8.1) was expiring in 2020 instead of 2016.

Mainstream support for 8.1 ended last year (Jan 2018). That means no new feature support for developers. Just security updates and such, per Microsoft Windows official lifecycle FAQ regarding "Extended support" until 2023.

Over on the PreSonus Studio One forum it was stated that the reason that their developers are throwing in the towel on any further 8.1 development is because they no longer get any feature support from Microsoft for that platform.

But like you said, it won't suddenly stop working. I do see their point about Studio One development needing feature support.
