Mach3 no longer works in Windows 10 as of version 1803

I run the Windows version of Freecad under Wine
Have you tried running AutoSketch v10 under WINE? That would be nice.

Mind you, W7 & Mach3 with NO internet connection works fine on a production basis. Zero virus risk. File transfer by sneakernet.

I don't have AutoSketch and consequently wouldn't know the answer.If you have it and could download an iso image of a Linux distro that will run live,you may be in a position to tell us if it does work.

I agree with the comment about older versions of Windows running perfectly well.Among my acquaintances,there is one who runs a router using XP with no internet connection and another runs a mill that is programmed in DOS.They both produce useful parts.

One of these days I will try that with Knoppix. I have the distro.

I was running my machine in production mode until it died - using WXP. I had to 'upgrade' to W7. The vendor was sstill not keen to supply that.

Well... you should upgrade to MACH4 instead. maybe you will have better luck. https://voltatek.ca/92-cnc-software

Installing or updating to the latest version of Windows 10.
The Mach 3 will works on it.

It is better to reinstall a latest version of Windows 10,by the way,making a Widnows 10 installation disk for installing it.

The Windows 10 has Virus Protection, Internet Access, and is regularly updated.
The Virtual session of Windows 7 is locked down and runs perfectly and is unaffected by anything happening on the Windows 10 host as shown in this video
In the video I am running Mach3 and simultaneously running a BobCad Simulation for a 750,000+ lines of GCode
