Windows 11 Tuning cable issue/new PC

I have started the tuning process and wondered if anyone had an issue with a newer windows 11 pc connecting or downloading drivers? I cannot get the computer to recognize the new cable. I’m wondering if anyone has had this issue and found out what firewall/antivirus etc is stoping the driver from downloading or recognizing the cable?

No there are no issues with Windows XP-11. Have you edited the two INI files to look at the correct serial port number and interface type?

I had a similar issue and found that my processor was the problem. Too new. I has to find a tad older machine to do it. Once I did, it was smooth sailing

Thank you, this is actually how I resolved the issue. Worked like a charm and flashed with zero issue. Car feels great now.
