Since Microsoft does not know of every piece of software, on every
Windows computer in the world, for simplicity, very often a Windows
update will set values to DEFAULT values. Therefore, it is necessary
for the user to set certain parameters to their preferred values after
an update. I view that this is no fault of Windows, it is just the
way they handle updates. Unless one is very familiar with the
in-depth operation of Windows, it is wise for anyone to make notes of
values, locations and they way one access certain application settings.

Ray,
By any chance did your first computer receive any updates from Microsoft
recently? MS updates are well-known to completely bugger custom
settings, including COM port settings.
Just a thought.

Hi Buck
What did I do to fix it?
Well I left the K3S disconnected for an hour or so while I read the
"trouble
shooting" sections in the owners manuals. I decided to change the power
supply & use a different PC & a different USB cable.
To my surprise the K3S then started normally & with the new PC I was
able to
download a new copy of the Utility program & the latest firmware. This
connected immediately to the K3S.
So, what was wrong & why did it not work before?
I have absolutely no idea!
