Windows 10 update problem

N6WT Kent

Windows 10 did an update this evening. When I tried to start the radio and SSDR the radio will connect to SSDR but no slice is present. If I try to add a slice the radio disconnects from SSDR and the power button flashes red and the radio reboots. all to happen again. I have tried a cold start of the radio and rebooting windows and still the same.

Windows 10 1909
SSDR 3.1.8
Flex 6600

You should try a factory reset on the radio. Make sure you export/save all your profiles first. I have had my 6700 act strange after Windows 10 updates, and the reset worked for me.

While you're doing that look in settings, security and whatever, too early for me and copy down all the updates done by the kb serial number. Everybody is in slightly different places but the was one for me, in a lower tier of insider, that destroyed flex.

Can you review your firewall settings?

Make sure your network card is set to a private setting and not a public setting. Microsoft has a habit of changing that setting

I run Windows 10 Pro, so that allows me to defer updates.  This morning, I forced my update after I shutdown everything first.  It came up just fine, but, yet again, Windows changed my LAN Card from Private (which I want) to Public (which I don't want).

It might give you something to check for.

A factory reset of the radio only addresses radio issues.

Just coincidence then? Okay.

Probably.

Tim, How do you do a factory reset on Flex 6600, I have a different problem.

Most likely it was necessary to update Windows with the radio disconnected from the computer ?
