Rule number one. It doesn't matter what OS you're using, a major
upgrade is going to break something that you depend on. If you're
lucky, a working replacement will be available, if you're really really
lucky, the existing software can be patched, and if you're unlucky the
software will be discontinued and the user base will be so small that no
one will have cared that it doesn't work.
Personally I wont upgrade to Win10 until I absolutely have to. I lost
three tools on the move from XP to Win7 that have no direct replacements
and couldn't be coerced into working properly no matter what I did.
Strangely Pixmantec's Raw Shooter Essentials, still runs on Win7 where
newer software does not. I really miss using that too and I have it
installed, but even Pentax Digital Camera Utility 4.x has a better UI
these days.
That said, 4gig of ram is pretty low for running photo editing software
with a modern OS. I'm doing it but I'm also two iterations of the OS
back and still editing using CS2. Which by the way is very fast on new
hardware and Win7.
However I suspect that some legacy dll that was supplied with the
original Win10 installation was deleted replaced or more maddeningly
installed in a directory that comes before the one you need to use on
the program search path, if Elements still uses the program search path.

Have you had problems after upgrading to Win 10 build 15063?
(10.0.15063). My computer is like a donkey. Elements Editor no longer
works (also on my wife's computer). Have tried the preferences fix
without success. Have 4gig RAM - is that enough? It was fine in Win 7
& the prev. version of Win 10.
