I have Task Coach on 2 Windows 10 machines and 1 XP. The installed version is stable on XP, but on Win 10 there were issues so I switched to the Portable version which works well for the most part, but not as stable as the installed version on XP.

I've now found that the installed version seems to work on Win10 by installing it in capatibility mode for Win8. So I'm now wondering - what is the most stable way to run Task Coach on Win10?? Using a portable version or installed in capatibility mode for Win8...

Hi, it's many years later but I'm excited to tell you that https://github.com/taskcoach/taskcoach now has Task Coach updated to Python3! I'm using it myself, and things are working better than ever. Packages are available for some common Linux systems and for Windows (note that it isn't recognized by Windows Smartscreen but can be installed by accepting the warning anyway)

I apologize that nobody replied to this support request originally.

We'd love to have you test the updated program, and post any issues that arise there at GitHub

We won't be continuing with SourceForge, just clearing out old issues and letting people know about the move

Cheers
