K3s USB com port no longer working

[Howard Sherer]

The USB com port on my K3s is still being seen when connected to my
computer but will no longer connect to any program. I have re booted the
computer 2 times and power cycled the K3 and no change.
Any ideas where I should look?

Under what circumstances did this loss of communication happen? If the
PC sees the K3 USP port (com?) are the programmes still pointing at it?

Howard,

Does K3 Utility connect? Is the RS232 menu parameter set to USB?
If no help there, contact support.

Try a cold reboot meaning, turn off the computer, just don't restart it.
  Try plugging the USB into a different USB jack on the computer.  Then
turn the computer on.

Could be the update have scrambled your port assignments such that you
now have a conflict which wasn't there before?
