Oh no... not me. All my USB stuff is working perfectly.... even with
the 50 lbs of gear I have hanging off the various USB buses... <smile>
But you have a point. Some of these other folks may have some issues.
It's my business to keep system's clean, so I am massively OCD about
doing so for my own machines.
Just bothers me that so many other folks are having issues.... I spent
some hours today researching and putting together some tools. I will be
testing them and hopefully writing up a procedure for "last resort" use.
Rebuilding the USB Bus structure from the ground up is not a trivial
task to say the least....

This is such a cluster and should never have happened... when I can
break loose, I will see what I can do to repriduce this situation....
(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....

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,

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.

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.
