Any known issues with Prop Plug and Win 10?

in Accessories
Should put new software into the Spinneret but no Propeller found on COM.
Disconnected PropPlug from USB cable and tried on a different board with USB connection: no problem.

Never faced any problem when computer was running Win7, seems the problem came with the upgrade.

Good advices will be higly appreciated!

    Did you load the new driver BEFORE plugging in the device:

    Aha, new driver, no one told me. The PropPlug-page didn't mention a new driver
    I have to correct myself, this computer has been upgraded from Win 8.1, not 7. Also a chance I never really tried to connect the Spinneret with this computer, could be my older Win7, I'm using both.
    But thank you, I will give the driver a chance and reply tomorrow!

    I would also suggest checking with your PC vendor on any BIOS or Intel driver updates with Win10.

    I found USB serial to be very unstable with many of the automated Win10 updates, before I checked with Dell in my case. Those updates are not part of Win10, and cured most of the ills I was seeing.

    Yes I had to go to my vendor to update bios and some drivers for Win 10.
