I have had the problem of the Decode button not coming on after the end of a receive interval. In my case I found the problem to be that the computer was being overloaded by high CPU usage of a web browser. This occurred with Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. This high CPU usage was seen by Task Manager. The solution was to close the web browser. What does Task Manager reveal in your case?
