KAT500 lost comm with PC

[Paul Ecker]

My KAT500 has stopped communicating with my Win 10 PC. I have tried two
different KXUSB cables. When connected, neither show up in the Windows 10
Device Mgr Ports list. This problem has only occurred in the last week.
Prior to that had been working fine. Otherwise KAT is working fine.Any
ideas on a remedy?

Paul,

I would suggest downloading the FTDI drivers and after installing,
restart the computer.

Paul,

Download the one on the first page that opens.  I can't recall, but I
think it is VCP.
