I do not recommend disabling updates unless your ham station computer is
not connected to the internet.
Most ham computers ARE connected to the internet, and updates are
necessary to keep up with security issues.
If you are developing software, then an internet isolated computer is
necessary.
As one for-instance, how do you keep up with DX spots if you are not
connected to the internet.
Updates may cause some problems with your configurations and drivers,
but that is a minor problem compared to a virus attack that can disable
the computer.

protect your OS. Deferment only last for, I believe 60 days. See my other
recommendation posted earlier.

Thank you. I never even thought about Win updates.

Yes, this is a computer related situation, and not a K3S situation.

I think this issue is Win10 related but this seems to be the place to
ask the question.
I had my K3 upgraded to the "s" last summer. Once Windows created
the USB sound device I renamed them to K3 Receive Audio and K3
Transmit Audio. Everything was working fine.
Last night I was trying to work some RTTY and found that MMTTY was
not decoding RTTY. After much confusion I realized that Windows (I
guess) created another sound device called USB Microphone and it was
ignoring the original K3 Receive Audio device which still existed.
Has anyone seen this happen?
Is there a way to avoid it happening again?
