Question re Window update to 1903 and DAX with Flex 6400M

Jon - AJ1U

I currently have Windows 10 Pro version 1809. I want to upgrade to 1903 but avoid problems with DAX. I have a Flex 6400M running SmartSDR 2.4.9. I never use SmartSDR on the computer to operate the radio, rather I use the front panel of the rig.  So, I want to stay with version 2.4.9. (I use Ham Radio Deluxe for digital modes and Slicemaster). I thought I read some time ago, but can't seem to find it, that I can run an installer of a newer version of SmartSDR just to update the DAX / CAT, but still use version 2.4.9 for everything else.  Could someone please point me to that info? Would I use the 2.6.0 or 2.61 installer? And should I update the Flex software before or after I update Windows to 1903. Thanks!!

Jon I have the same set up, have let Windows do it's thing and have not had one issue with DAX at all. Up date your OS then Smart SDR. 
I have a 6400M {Smart SDR 2.61} Windows 10 Pro version 1909 os build 18363.657 and runs flawlessly.

I am using Windows  10 Pro 1909 and have updated to 2.6.1 without any issues. 73

The version of DAX that is in SmartSDR v2.6.1 should not be adversely affected by Windows updates.  I highly recommend installing it before you do the update.

I can confirm that I had done it in the same order and it works. Thanks Tim.
