Problem:

After installing System i Navigator on Windows 8-10, system errors are generated when I try to start the application.

Solution:

Although IBM will no longer offer support for IBM i Access for Windows, it is easy to fix the start up errors by placing the application in 'Windows 7 Compatibility Mode'.

Steps

Step 1) Open All Apps > Find IBM i Access for Windows > Right click on System i Navigator > Select Open file location
