Hi Jan, There were some postings on the bulletin board about this in the latter half of August last year. I also recall problems with the parallel version of XDS but I think this was fixed by Microsoft in a patch that I believe is included in the recent Creators update to Windows 10. Can't verify this right now as the XDS download site appears to be offline. But will do so when I get home.
