Windows 11 a big pain for hams?

Post by ea2eke » Tue Apr 30, 2024 12:26 am

Hi all,

I posted a semiofftopic here viewtopic.php?t=3434&start=10#p31058 about Windows 11 and cps driver problems.

Not only one, I have a lot of problems with VarAC, WSJT, USB serial adapters.. a big pain! I never have this problems with my others PCs running Windows 7.

Anyone knows where are the thing? The pc is a laptop Lenovo T470, with ssd and 8gb ram.

Thanks in advance and cheers!

it depends of what kind of USB TTL chip your cable uses.

some older or fake/clone Prolific chips are problematic with modern versions of Windows (unless you use a really old version of the driver)

CH340 is more reliable, FTDI too (except fakes/clones) and Silicon Labs too.
