I just wanted to let you know that I upgraded my machine to Windows 10 and the pause screen works now.

Thanks for your help, Jason and Joe.
I installed a completely new mame 0.201, which didn't change the pause screen behavior. I also closed my apps one by one, checking the pause screen after each. This included disabling Security Essentials and Malwarebytes real time protections. I even killed all of the processes that I could using task manager, but ultimately I still needed to force the pause screen.
I know that you must be busy and probably have more important things to occupy your time and this issue is really not that big of a deal for me, as it does in fact work. I am willing to continue troubleshooting, however, if it will help.

Okay, I tried a default mame.ini with the same results.

Understood... I deleted default.cfg and had mame create a fresh one but it still won't work unless I force it. Let me know if you need anything from me.

Hi Jason,
Thank you for responding so quickly and thank you for your excellent work on Launchbox. I have tried many frontends over the years and it wasn't until I found your software that I could finally just relax and enjoy some retro gaming.
I have successfully reset a game, saved state and loaded state. It seems to be working but it annoys me that I need to force it. I'm fairly certain that my drivers are in order. I built this machine in 2010 and it's been well maintained since. I don't have any real issues with it and all software runs as expected. That being said, anything is possible and I would gladly take a look at drivers or MAME settings that you think might be affecting the pause screen.

I was having trouble with the pause screen on mame 0.201. When I press "p" the game will pause but no screen comes up. I noticed a setting in edit emulators/pause screen for "Forceful Pause Screen Activation". When I check this option, it works. What is it about my system or setup that is causing this?

I had the same issue when I tried to update from within LaunchBox, so I downloaded the installer and tried to update manually, with the same results. After reading this thread, I quit Malwarebytes and tried again and it worked. I then started Malwarebytes back up and everything seems fine.
Malwarebytes is definitely appears to be blocking part of the installation. I'm running the latest version of Windows 10 and I was updating from LaunchBox 10.10 to 10.11.
