Support for Windows 10?

I contacted Raylectron Support about a month ago about strange error messages I kept receiving when trying to open Raylectron.
Hello Raylectron Support!
I seem to be having a problem that is cropping up every time I try to start Raylectron independently or through SketchUp.
This is the message I get when starting it up on it’s own: "Error--1000: clCreateContext".
And Raylectron does launch but doesn’t seem to load or render any files after starting up. It looks like this.

It’s the same story when trying to start the render through SketchUp.
I did do a Google search on this and found something that said something vaguely along the lines that the clCreateContext had something to do with Nvidia graphics cards. I have a discrete Nvidia card on this laptop and have set the computer to use the Nvidia discrete one by default because it offers better performance, but I noticed that when I opened the “GPU” tab in at the top in Raylectron, it had selected the integrated Intel graphics processor. I guessed there might have been some confusion so just to make sure I reset the default graphics card choice to the original setting, the Intel graphics card but it didn’t seem to improve it. I still got the same alert.
I know the GPU version of Raylectron works because I used it less than a week ago. Now it isn’t.
Reinstalling Raylectron didn’t seem to work.
I tried waiting a while (in the hope that windows updates might fix something) and reinstalling Raylectron v4.6 GPU 64-bit edition again. Still didn't work.

Today I removed Raylectron and installed the updated Raylectron 4.76 CPU 64-bit version. Now I'm getting this error message. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_eN5M ... sp=sharing

I've chalked the GPU error message up to Windows 10. I ran a program compatibility check and got a warning that the GPU version would not work with Windows 10. I got the same with the CPU version. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_eN5M ... sp=sharing
I also tried running both versions in Compatibility Mode for Windows 7 and 8 with no success.

I'm pretty sure all of this is Windows 10's fault and because Microsoft insists on being a royal pain in the backside, they won't make a change to how it works. Both of the graphics cards on this computer are running new drivers too. So, is there any chance we will get a version of Raylectron that will work with Windows 10?
