One of the Windows updates in Window 10 breaks the Dymo Label Software, supplied free with the LabelWriter printer. This is a known problem, but there is a simple fix for this. Just follow these instructions:

(Make sure you are using Label Software 8.5.1 or higher)
Go to your Desktop
Right click on DYMO Label v. 8 and select Properties
Go to Compatibility mode and Run this program in mode for Windows 7
Also set the Privilege Level to Run this program as an administrator
Click Apply followed by OK

The software should now work fine. But, if you're still unable to get the software to work please contact Dymo Technical Support (www.dymo.com)

I tried the steps above, plus I tried completely uninstalling. deleting all folders from 3 different locations and 2 entries in the registry. Then I downloaded the newest verison 8.5.3 (with the printer unplugged), restarted machine. Launched the software, plugged in the printer when asked and still the software crashes upon launch.
