Hi A bit late to this discussion. But i had the exact same problem with an even older Softimage version (v7.1), when i had the brilliant idea to switch my Local Windows account to a Microsoft account login. When i started with win8 i created a local account and everything worked in softimage as in win7 (except some extra security dialog i have to OK each time starting SI up), when i switched to the Microsoft Account method to log into Windows, SI would start as usual, but any file browser just didn't work. Knowing that the only thing i had changed since it worked, was the account login method, i reverted back to a local account and SI works as it should again.
So my only fear for the future compatibility of SI and win10 is that a Microsoft account is needed instead of a local account, but i dont believe that will be the case :-) happy new year.
