Hi,
The first thing I would do at this point, is to go into the device manager
and select "Properties" for the driver. Next select the "Driver" tab and
then click on "Uninstall Device" and Make absolutely sure that you select
"Delete the driver software"
That will get rid of it.
Next download the appropriate drivers from the Elecraft site or use the link
for it. Unplug your USB cable to the radio, install and only plug in the
cable when directed or the install is complete.
Never do an "Update Driver". In many cases Windows will substitute a
universal driver that may not do what you want.
Now with the latest Windows 10 update, some changes have been made to the
Privacy settings on your computer, specifically devices that act as
Microphones, one of which is probably the USB codec that Elecraft uses.
Make sure it is set to allow.

Subject: [Elecraft] Windows 10 Update Breaks COM Port for K3 & P3 Utilities
With the latest Windows 10 update earlier this week, my K3S and P3 can no
longer communicate with my Windows 10 PC via the USB cables. I’ve gone into
Device Manager and right clicked on the COM12 device drive and clicked
“update driver” and that updated from a 2016 driver to a 2017 CM port
driver, but neither connect the PC to my K3S or P3. Any suggestions? Thank
you.
