cap_vfw no more working on win10 / opencv3

since migrating to win10, CAP_VFW seems no more working.

i still get a dialog box, prompting to choose a camera, but

VideoCapture(-1);

or

VideoCapture(0|CAP_VFW);

does not open. can anyone side this / double check ?

(i'm not so much worried about using vfw myself, it's more like 99% of opencv's samples use -1 (which again uses vfw) as default for webcam capture, which would leave noobs on win quite puzzled...)
