One thing to keep in mind, is that just Uninstall of the device may not be enough. There is an option in the driver Uninstall that allows you to delete the driver software. What I would do, is look at the comports in the device manager and if I see any exclamation marks do the Uninstall but select delete driver as well.Next unplug your device, and reboot.Next install the software from the manufacture and then reboot and then plug in your device.This always works. Just make sure you install the correct drivers. 73 Tom va2fsq.com

If not then right click on the Win 10 start icon and select device manager. Find errors in the list then uninstall. Next select action and select look for new devices ( something like that). If you note the device manager repopulates the same errored device, remove again but reboot. IF that doesn't solve it, right click on errored device item and look for update. If that doesn't work, google the issue and be careful where you go to research the item. (Great place to find viruses or bad sites.) 73, Bill K9YEQ -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Dick Dievendorff Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2017 1:51 PM To: 'Richard Lawn' <rjl...@gmail.com>; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 not Seen By Computer after OS upgrade It took a couple of minutes for the device driver to be installed the first time. There were a series of “toaster popups” in the lower right corner that described progress… I think I did have the other end of the cable into the radio for this, but I don’t recall. Patience is definitely required. I most recently did this at last year’s Visalia DX convention with a new device (a K-Pod) with slow wifi and my CEO and customers were waiting. I remember it well. I sometimes delete the existing driver, then ask Windows to go get it again.

All was fine until I plugged the USB cable from my K3 into the computer and nothing. No recognition what so ever. I went to the Elecraft site and downloaded and installed FTDI and Prolific drivers though I think it needed FTDI. Still nothing. I'm puzzeled though as I downloaded two different FTDI driver packages. One was an install package and the other is a folder with no obvious setup file for installation. The folder is labeled CDM v2.12.26 WHQL Certified. That's probably the one I needed to install but am at a loss in how to do that. Some advice would be appreciated.
