Minion is working fine on Windows 10 here with out any changes to admin rights or compatibility settings. I have 1 desktop, 1 old laptop and 2 (32bit & 64bit) development virtual machines now running 10.

I'm guessing maybe upgrading to windows 10 also upgraded your antivirus or malware and maybe it's halting Minion? The windows firewall I think was upgraded in 10 and maybe it's blocking minion? The minion0.log would give me some hints.

So you don't see the .minion folder? Are you just unsure of the location? If you upgraded to windows 10 it shouldn't have been deleted so it should be there.
