RealPort WIN10 Can't access COM port suddenly.

Question

Digi Portserver TS3+M
Windowns 10
RealPorts

All of a sudden we can't access the com ports remotely using RealPorts on a WIN10 laptop.
Nothing has been changed so I assume this is from the recent WIN10 major updates?

Cannot open COM14. (0x0000003b)
Is the error code for doing a simple test with Tera Term for example trying to access a port.

No other software or settings have been changed and has previously worked for years.

Looking for a solution please?

Answer 1

OK. So I delete all my existing ports totally. Re-ran the RealPort software under Administrator and installed the TS3+M Com ports again on the Win 10 Laptop. And they worked first go. So the solution seems to be to remove the lot completely and reinstall. Hope this helps others.

Answer 2

I too am having an issue with com ports already in use, I cant connect with xctu and dont see a way to factory reset it, like it stuck in program mode or something.

Answer 3

I would suggest the XBee 3 NBiOT or the XBee 3 LTE CAT 1 AT&T module.
