as Windows 10 Release becomes available, I would like to suggest that we create a
Windows 10 thread here, where all problems, bugs and solutions can be collected
concerning SmartSDR, SmarSDR CAT and DAX compatibility, but also problems
with software and drivers used with SmartSDR.
Problems with PowerSDR and it's firewire driver should also be included.

Maybe there will be a Flex tutorial on Windows 10 when we have
squashed all the bugs :-)

When I ran the app, it gave me the option of creating a .ISO file, or to just upgrade my computer to Windows 10. I chose the upgrade option. It was somewhat painless, but I did need to uninstall my Cisco VPN client, and also Symantec anti-virus which it told me was incompatible with Windows 10 (until symantec updates it).
Someone I work with had to revert back to 8.1 temporarily to resolve a network issue (vpn conflict). The downgrade only took about 10 minutes. Sounds like it keeps the old version of windows for about a month before deleting it to free up space. This is 2nd hand knowledge though, I haven't confirmed that info anywhere.

If you are having issues. I strongly recommend that you consider using the procedure I posted yesdterda that describes how to completely uninstall the SmartSDR ecosystem of software before you upgrade and then re-install afterwards. The same goes for any other applications you had difficulty with.

Playing with this again after getting home tonight. FlexControl was assigned to Com3. Still not working even though Device Manager shows it as "working properly" and the three LED's all turned on when I booted up the computer.
Just for the heck of it I tried changing the Com port used by the FlexControl from 3 to 5. Still no life however. Port settings are 9600 8N1 No Handshaking. In the FlexControl window in PowerSDR the Auto Detect box IS checked.
Last thing to try was to uninstall everything and start over. So I uninstalled PowerSDR, uninstalled the FlexControl driver, disconnected the FlexControl, rebooted, re-installed PowerSDR and verified it works, shut it down then re-connected the FlexControl. Its driver re-installed "apparently" normally, but STILL PowerSDR will not do anything when I spin the wheel or push a button.
Any ideas?
