Hi Tom,
OK, I've not see that behaviour. Are you able to reproduce it? If yes,
then does starting Omni-Rig manually before starting WSJT-X work correctly?

Actually no. When you start wsjt it immediately gives an error saying
failed to start omnirig com server. If you monitor the serial port
traffic, nothing happens at all. No serial communications at all.
If you start wsjt as administrator it works without an issue. This
doesn't happen with any other software that uses omnirig. It's strange
because this always worked in the past.

Tom,
I am looking into this issue, you don't need to keep repeating your query.
So far I see one problem with startup when there is a fault condition
like the rig not being accessible, or if WSJT-X is closed down before it
has completed all the retries it attempts before reporting an error
(that takes up to 10 seconds). Is that consistent with what you are
reporting? If so, then if WSJT-X is left for 20 seconds or so to do its
own thing does an error get reported?
