DAX driver error
I fixed the CAT issues by repairing FLEX VSP as indicated in the help commentaries. DAX is still an issue and I gat an error that DAX drivers cannot be loaded.
I know there is a fix to reinstall the drivers manually:
https://helpdesk.flexradio.com/hc/en-us/articles/204017069-How-to-Manually-Re-Install-DAX-Drivers
However, it states "if instructed by the helpdesk" (I opened a ticket but being a long weekend I suspect I will not hear back until next week).
Has anyone else tried this and did it work? Are there any issues with trying this approach?

Tim of Flex wrote up a complete set of instructions of deleting SmartSDR and reinstalling. It has long since become one of the great all-time best sellers!

Thanks Jim. Yes, I am aware of that, but I wondered since I fixed CAT if I could do the same by reinstalling the DAX drivers without having to do a complete uninstall.

Good question! I just shrug my shoulders and resign myself to the perfunctory regular duty of doing the uninstall when Microsoft gets another hair. I was hoping that someday, Flex would come up with an uninstall program to stop this on-going drama. I have, apparently, fallen on deaf ears.

Well I threw caution to the winds and followed the instructions for reinstalling the DAX Drivers. That seems to have fixed the problem (Hopefully!). I need to explore why WIN10 upgraded itself even when the computer was powered down...

Suspect the update was queued up b4 the power down. ITim0

If your setup is like mine, the trick with WIndows 10 is to manually check for updates every day, and NEVER let it do a restart without first shutting down CAT and DAX. Since I implemented that protocol, I've never had a problem with updates.0
