I was looking through the error log and saw the " Unable to find an entry point named 'IsWindows10RS1OrGreater' in DLL 'PresentationNative_v0400.dll'". Before getting a reply, I updated my Windows 10 to the anniversary update and ArmA is now working again. Not sure if .NET would've fixed it!

Thanks a lot for the reply though.

Hi,
thank you for letting us know.

Your problem was a missing function in 'PresentationNative_v0400.dll', which is a file that is a part of .NET Framework and upgrading to Anniversary Update has updated the .NET Framework as well. The most likely when you've upgraded from Windows 7 to 10, part of the .NET Framework wasn't updated and that caused a mismatch that was fixed when upgrading to Anniversary Update.
