Launcher Error -2146697211 after Windows 10 Upgrade.

I've done a ton of research on this issue and I am at a lost.

The problem is not:
- Avast (free)
- Internet explorer
- The Launcher itself

I installed Windows 10 two days ago, I ran the launcher just fine, it updated FFXIV, and FFXIV DX10 launched just fine.

This appears to be directly a problem with DNS. I'd suggest you set your DNS to 8.8.8.8 on your Windows PC or router and see if that resolves it. Some ISP's run intercepting DNS (so they can serve custom "not found" pages for whatever the hell reason) so it results in very slow to updates, and that is in fact a change I deliberately make every time it seems like DNS is the culprit.

That fixed it for me.

My DNS is always 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4. Good thinking though!

Interestingly enough, I actually managed to see this error (twice) when I logged out and logged back in later. So this might actually be a DNS cache issue.
