Yesterday I installed a clean version of Windows 10 after the update and the format.
Today I was trying install Tex Live but there is an issue. The installer (exe) unzipped the file but then simply shut down when I pressed close and did not start the installation process itself.
The zipped version of the installer (the alternate method cited on the tex live site) opened the CMD successfully, but then a window said that there are some problems with perl and with every press key shut down.
Then I tried with the 2015 live cd, the error is the same as the CMD.
The other programs and drivers are perfect; Tex Live is the only one that caused me trouble.
Is it the same for you or is it just me? Are there some fixes that I can try or I just need to wait for an updated version of the Tex Live suite compatible with Windows 10?
Sorry for the bad English!

I just tested with a brand-new wx pro 64-bits and an advanced user install and had no problems. To be exact: I downloaded the exe, selected the unpack option and after it finished unpacking I double-clicked install-tl-advanced.bat, but clicking the advanced button also started up the main installer interface.
I searched for this "0xc0000142" error. Unfortunately it seems a pretty intractable beast.
As a workaround, you can try a portable install on a usb stick from another computer.
