The update killed my LAN and I had to contact MS Support Tier 2 to fix it. Jim K7EG

Reinstalled my Realtek drivers and all back to life.?? I use the rear output to the radio and the front for computer output like YouTube, Music etc. Rick N6PE ====================================================================== WHEN YOUR?HORSE DIES, IT'S TIME TO DISMOUNT. ? ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2020 12:35:37 -0700 From: "Richard (Rick) Karlquist" <rich...@karlquist.com> To: topband@contesting.com Subject: Re: Topband: Windows 10 Update heads up Message-ID: <3b353fbd-d9e5-8834-ac59-6d47410de...@karlquist.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed For Flex users: For the second time in less than a year, a Windows 10 update disabled my Flex CAT and DAX drivers. After hours of time spent with Flex, I learned I am supposed to disable auto updates. Also, before doing an update manually, I was supposed to uninstall the Flex software. Now I am told that the drivers have been "improved" for now, but are still vulnerable depending on Microsoft, but it "probably safe" to update without uninstalling, as long as the Flex software is not running at the time. I was also told that only 2.4.10 and 2.6.2 and version 3 something are "fixed". I was running 2.6.1. Who knew? Nothing up on their web site. My new procedure will be to check for windows updates on Monday after the contest is over and log submitted. Last year I missed the Oct. Stew Perry on account of this.
