Are you using a USB to serial adapter?  If so, have you downloaded and
installed the latest drivers for that adapter (if the Elecraft KUSB the
drivers are from FTDI).  Reboot the computer after installation.

Use a USB port on the computer, not on a hub.

"Use a USB port on the computer, not on a hub."

Why is this restriction imposed on the K3 utility?  The KAT500 and KPA500 utilities work fine through my 10 port hub.

I run everything on hubs - except for the K3.  And, to make matters
worse, updates often upset the computer and a complete reinstall is
needed.  Back up, back up, and back more.  Gotta luv Windows 10!!!

Make sure your Registry is clean and no fragments from installs and
uninstalls exists.    I use a product called CCleaner, Pro version,  to
get rid of junk files and also clean the Registry. That's two different
functions.   There is a free version available.    You might be
surprised at the crap and junk that's hanging around inside the
computer, file wise.

Type    Device Manager in your search
window. When it opens look for "Ports"

write down your existing port numbers.

Pull your USB.

The number that leaves is your necessary
port number.

re-attach the USB and now in the utility,
go to that port number with the proper
baud (38K, 36K, something like that) and
you should reconnect
