The following will prevent several unexpected problems:
- For Windows 10 latest version:
- Until next update DO NOT use Registry Mode as it will very likely to crash and lock you out in the logon screen
- Instead use Service Mode, go to Services -> Mactype Service and change the Startup Type Automatic (Delayed Start)
- Or use Tray mode
- There are some known problems with the new installer as it is a big update, it is very much recommended to:
- Stop old MacType, uninstall and reboot
- Do a clean install, make sure you chose Typical install (not Custom)
- Secure Boot
- Use Service Mode if you prefer to keep Secure Boot enabled (recommended)
- For Registry Mode to work, Secure Boot must be disabled
- Service Mode and Registry Mode give the same results in most cases so most people will want to select Service Mode

Only Chinese simplified/Traditional and English are fully localized, some options may missing in MacType Tuner due to the strings missing in the language file

If you want to use MacType-patch together with MacType official release, remember to add DirectWrite=0 to your profile or you will have mysterious problems
-
If you're running 64 bit Windows, antimalware/antivirus software may conflict with MacType, because it sees MacType trying to modify running software. One possible workaround is to try running in Service Mode (recommended), or add HookChildProcesses=0 to your profile. See https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/wiki/HookChildProcesses for an explanation
-
Office 2013 does not use DirectWrite or GDI (it uses its own custom rendering), so Office 2013 doesn't work with MacType. Recommended workarounds are to use Office 2010 which uses GDI or Office 2016 which uses DirectWrite.
