I would advise against shutting off the updates. They are done to prevent security issues and plug holes found by the hackers. Learn to use the control panel and check com ports to the radios. They do get reassigned. Drivers can carry infections, so if you have an infected machine that could also be part of the problems.

Sometimes it appears that Windows 10 update will will clobber your USB to serial devices. There is an option to turn OFF windows updates to drivers. This is something that is worth while doing to save grief down the road.1 Open the Windows control panel...the old one.2 select System3 Select Advanced system settings4 Click the hardware tab 5. Click on the Device Installation Settings6. Select No for "Do you want to automatically download manufacturers apps and custom icons available for you devices?7. Doing this will prevent future Windows updates from replacing your carefully chosen drivers with generic universal drivers from Windows.Do it! Save yourself headaches.

That is usually the problem when this happens. 73, Barry K3NDM Sent from XFINITY Connect Mobile App -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Cc: Sent: 2017-03-21 12:28:33 AM Subject: [Elecraft] Windows and KX3 I'm currently running my KX3 with a Windows 10 machine. I just went through a Windows 10 update and have lost contact with the KX3. The elecraft utility doesn't connect, nor my N3FJP logging software. Nothing else has changed. Any suggestions?
