As I've been away for some time, the SubSim website has changed quite a bit, so I am not sure if I am missing updates that can resolve this issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Where did you install it? Do not let it go into a C:\Program Files directory. Put it into something like C:\My Games\ or whatever you want, but not into either of the Program Files folders. Win10 (or Win7 for that matter) doesn't let anyone mess in there and will cause problems, such as freezing or ctd's.
