Unable to export .nwf after W10 Enterprise edition upgrade.

I am having difficulty exporting a .nwf workflow after Windows OS upgrade to W10, I was able to do this from the same SP site whilst running W7 IE9. I am able to import a workflow in W!0/IE11 but not the reverse (I back up all my workflows). W10 shipped with IE11.713.10586.0.

When I click export I get the under button 'pop out' option to export but then nothing else, there are no files in the downloads folder either. I have checked Event viewer and again, nothing. I have tried this in IE64bit and ie32bit. pop up blocker is turned off.

Would be interested in getting this fixed as I now have a thin client next to my laptop to get over this.

Thanks for reading

John

haven't you tried to run IE in compatibility mode or to switch older IE version emulation in developer console?

do you try to export from workflow preview page or from within designer?

can you try 'Save as' and/or 'Open' options from popup dialog? maybe save default location is different from what you expect.

I would as well try another browser.

Hi John,

do you face any other problems with SharePoint and or Nintex too or is this the only one?

Does it happen in all workflows or just a specific one?

Does it work in Firefox?

Can you please ensure that your site is running as "Intranet" zone in your internet explorer settings?

Kind regards,

Enrico

Hi Enrico

I am also getting the below issue however it seems to be related to the fact that I am running in 64bit.

I had to change the DOM settings in Internet Options/Advanced Tab/Security>Enable DOM Storage as I could not see any of the backgrounds on my SP sites, the below error seemed to occur at the same time, I believe the issue with exporting .nwf is one of the symptoms. I have tried Firefox, Chrome and the built in 32bit IE in W10. I have also added the site to the Intranet zone with no luck, I googled the below and was advised to put the tick back in DOM storage, obviously of no use to me.

Dear all

Many thanks for takin time out to assist with this, I have since found through your suggestions and troubleshooting with colleagues that this was not a Nintex issue but rather a non standard h/w issue that somehow corrupted the W10 image installed and therefore prevented the relevent pop ups from occuring.

Thank again and regards

John
