Take a step back. There are lots of influences which affect situations. Desktop viruses are usually the first. These control the internet connections. They don't play well with your PC. I know this as I fix issues for my customers. Good luck! You may be seriously infected.

(I had zero issues with 1803 release or the insider prieview preceding it). I will also investigate for tools available for cleaning out the registry of ALL USB enumeration et al. so AT LEAST there will be a procedure where we can start clean and reinstall/configure all USB connections/devices/routings. I use multiple USB hubs, outboard USB audio interfaces/mixers, VNWA, SDR, LP-PAN, GPSDO. NTP server, etc.... So when I went to USBVIEW and looked around, I was astonidhed at the plate of USB spaghetti it had become. It is a wonder that any signal gets to where it is supposed to go.... <big grin> 73,Clay, KY5G Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: Bill Johnson <[email protected]> Date: 5/29/18 13:47 (GMT-06:00) To: Tom <[email protected]>, Mark Wheeler <[email protected]>, [email protected] Cc: Mark Wheeler <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Windows 10 Update Breaks COM Port for K3 & P3 Utilities Tom, I get prereleases for WIN 10 Pro which means I got the release you are probably discussing in this thread some time ago. The audio codec changes in the release can be a big PITA. I have to unplug my USB cable to the K3S in order not to have the PC speakers and the directly plugged in Stereo speakers on at the same time. If I want to use the USB cable, then I have to use the PC speakers. Interestingly, I can disable one set of speakers via control panel settings, but once I reboot the speaker is then re-detected. I will eventually have too use the PC speakers, and abandon my excellent stereo speakers hooked directly to the K3S. I prefer using the volume control on the K3S vs reaching to adjust the PC speakers or changing the mixer settings on the desktop. 73, Bill K9YEQ https://wrj-tech.com/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Tom Hi, [WJ] ........ 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. 73 Tom va2fsq.com -----Original Message----- From: Mark Wheeler Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2018 10:29 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Mark Wheeler 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.
