PWI working on Windows 10?

I used FW, ChampsOL and PWI a few years ago on Win 7 and all was well. I have recently upgraded my system to Windows 10, have used FW and it works fine. Now I installed and started PWI and it's not working. Maybe there are known fixed you can point me to:
(1) Can't set the graphics to full screen 1920x1080 to match my monitor. When I do, it flashes or goes black. Tried various settings - v-synch on and off and a few other things. Looks like it won't run full screen. So I reduced it to 1680x1050 windowed and it comes up. Of course I want to run it in Full Screen HD mode. Anybody else seen this? FW works fine, but is happier being Windowed, HD rather than Full Screen.
(2) Can't log into my account. Says "You have been Disconnected." and wants me to log in again. Looks like my account is passed from Arc launcher to client, but login fails. I made sure that Elementclient.exe was allowed in the Windows Firewall.
I have an updated Windows 10 system.
Thanks,

1. Moving this to the correct forum.
2. For your first issue, read the Sticky Thread. It's titled "Windows 10 Compatibility Discussion". I explain exactly why that happens and how to work around it.
3. For your second issue, ensure that the client is fully excluded from your antivirus software, and you will also want to allow patcher.exe and launcher.exe through the firewall as well. (Arc executables probably wouldn't be a bad idea, but I've never had to with good firewall software. If you're using Windows default, then it's ****.)
4. If you still continue to have an issue, the exact details for what I need you to post are available in This Sticky Thread.
Edit: Hahaa, I got ninjaed by @baneof1000ad cause I spent time working on my links and moving the thread.0 -
Thanks. Got it going windowed and after settings in Windows Defender and Windows Firewall it looks like it is working. CU in world.
