Morning hwh
You me and f5sh no like Win10 should have stuck with Win7.
I think your onto something, managed to change the ST-Link driver version as shown in your (pic1) to V 1.1.0.0. - tbh not sure how this came about, duh! with zadig maybe, don't want to mess around to find out, how, just yet.
So now my desktop recognizes the STLink dongle - yippee - but now the dongle does not see the Target = CC3D Evo
Hopefully I have attached a couple of screen shots - (don't see these in the preview to confirm) - anyway we're making headway and 'me little grey cells' is working overtime - an interesting exercise...joe
