Something to scratch your head over...

I just had a MAJOR what the fiorg? Situation. I am at a complete loss. I'm hoping someone can figure this out because I'm FUBAR stymied!
I have to upgrade my laptop(actually my son's) to Windows 10, which I'm planning to do tomorrow. This is the laptop that I originally installed cc3+ on. So I spent most of this evening installing cc3+/cd3+/dd3+ and the CSUAC and Vintyri's symbol set #5 on my other son's laptop. Since I've already upgraded his to Windows 10, I figured I could use one while the other is upgrading.
Well, there are a few crazy issues with the install, I've already posted a thread about it. So I decided to test it with a map I'm currently working on... My Ardenvale map. I'm completely reworking it from scratch, because my scales are way too inconsistent (thanks Shessar for catching that), and it's easier to redo the map than trying g to go back and fix everything.
I already started the remake, so I transfered my working file over to the other laptop and was working on the new Ardenvale River.
I got to the point where I was Adding sheet effects to my river. I double checked to make sure I was Addi g effects to the RIVER, set my transparency and my inner edge fade, and clicked okay.
It took forever to redraw, and when it did my BACKGROUND bad the transparency and inner edge fade...NOT my river! I went back and quadruple cbecked my sheets. The ONLY effects listed.were.the two I just mentioned, a d they were in my river sheet. No matter what I did, or where I did it...the background is what was affected.
And yes, before anyone mentions it, the check mark and the gray bar was on the river.
Going back to the earlier OS, and every thing was fine. But I'm still scratching g my head over this!

Now, I saved Ardenvale2 with the sheets and effects on... because I was falling asleep at the computer last night. So the effects were on when I opened it up in Windows 10 this morning. I look at my map to continue working on it... and once again, my background is transparent and faded, my river is solid. I triple check AGAIN on the 'invisible' sheets button. There are no effects on my background, or my river bed. There are effects on my river only. But yet it's my background that's affected in the windows 10 version.
So I challenge the programming experts here.... why is this happening, and how do I fix?!?!?!?!?
You said this was a new install? Make sure you have installed the most recent update. I believe it is Update 4.
The only other thing I can think of is that you have some effect set on the Whole Drawing. I had really strange things happen once when I had forgotten that I was using an effect there.
If neither of those things seems to be the problem, post your .FCW here so we can take a look.
And I'm looking into getting my own laptop, so I can give my son's back to him. It will have windows 10 on it... so if cc3+ won't work with windows 10, I'm seriously screwed!!!
As to what is going on, it sounds very odd. Sorry that I don't have any suggestions, but I'm sure someone here will spot it for you.
Just wanted to ease your mind that there isn't any underlying incompatibility.
EDIT: Guess I was a bit slow on my response. Glad to hear that installing the latest update fixed your problem!
On a side note, I just wanted to give you a personal thank you for your contributions with me, here on the profantasy site. I missed you in my main post, and I apologize, I wasn't trying to ignore you! You've been a great sourse of help and inspiration, and I just wanted you to know that I really appreciate it!
