Oh it's MUCH worse than that.

My system was coerced into version 1903 which uninstalled some software and crippled others.  Reverting to 1803 and uninstalling that KB had no effect; updating to the Cumulative that superseded it had no effect; the network device (a weather station) can no longer communicate with the computer.  I have no fix and I've run out of ideas.

The writer of the software isn't about to fix, what MicroSoft broke.

Thanks MS, we don't like your forced updates; some of us don't even need a nanny.  Allow us the choice to turn updates OFF (forever if we choose).

I realize this is not a Windows list, but it relates to my K3 as I use it and the K3 Utility to do things...

early this morning, Windows tried to install (but failed) 2019-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4507435).

As a result, I have lost my virtual com ports...

in Device Manager, under USB controllers, they show as USB Serial Converter (with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside it), and have the correct driver loaded, but somehow they are not working, not findable in the K3 Utility, and so I am at a loss what to do /change / fix next...

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & 73 de Dave, W5SV
