[Elecraft] Turning off windows 10 serial driver updates

[tomb18]

Hi There is also a knowledge base article and a utility from Microsoft that you can download and install which will specifically prevent a particular driver from ever being updated.You can use this for the FTDI drivers.The 
Utility from Microsoft can be found by searching for  kb3073930. 
Now if someone can tell me why every time I post on this list it removes my carriage returns I would be greatful. 73 Tom Va2fsq.com

HI,Many people seem to run into issues with serial port driver reassignment. Sometimes it appears that Windows 10 update will will clobber your USB to serial devices. There is an option to turn OFF windows updates to drivers. This is something that is worth while doing to save grief down the road.1 Open the Windows control panel...the old one.2 select System3 Select Advanced system settings4 Click the hardware tab 5. Click on the Device Installation Settings6. Select No for "Do you want to automatically download manufacturers apps and custom icons available for you devices?7. Doing this will prevent future Windows updates from replacing your carefully chosen drivers with generic universal drivers from Windows.Do it! Save yourself headaches. To bad these mailing lists don't have stickies...73 Tomva2fsq.com

Tom,
     It's probably nothing more than needing to re-install the driver for your sub to serial adapter. That is usually the problem when this happens.

Subject: [Elecraft] Windows and KX3

I'm currently running my KX3 with a Windows 10 machine. I just went through
a Windows 10 update and have lost contact with the KX3.  The elecraft
utility doesn't connect, nor my N3FJP logging software. Nothing else has
changed. Any suggestions?
