Windows 10: Windows10 - Recent Microchip PICKit3 issue

Hello,
I have one PICKit3, which worked well on my PC using MPLAB 8.92 successively with Win7 and with Win10.
Recently I used my PICKit3 with a PC under Windows VISTA and MPLAB 8.92.
After that, I wanted to connect again the PICKit3 on my PC with Win 10.
When I connected PICKit3 on USB port I saw a quick popup window relative to PICKit3, as when I connect a new USB device, but I had not enough time to read it. Now it doesn't work as well as before.
I looked for the bootloader which is the same " PK3FW_012890.jam " on both the PC.
Now, when I connect PICKit3 with MPLAB, see below the messages I can see on the screen depending on the PC I use:

With PC under VISTA:
PICkit 3 detected

Connecting to PICkit 3...

Running self test...

Self test completed

Firmware Suite Version...... 01.28.90

Firmware type......................PIC18F

PICkit 3 Connected.

With PC under Win 10:
1 - When I plug in PICKit3 after the PC has started:



No PICkit 3 Connected



After a try to reconnect:



PICkit 3 detected

Connecting to PICkit 3...

PK3Err0038: Failed to initialize PICkit 3.

Failed to properly connect to PICkit 3



2 - The only way I’ve found to active PICKit3 is to plug in it before starting the PC:



PICkit 3 detected

Connecting to PICkit 3...

Firmware Suite Version...... 01.28.90

Firmware type......................Enhanced Midrange

PICkit 3 Connected.

If I plug-out and then plug in again PICKit3 it does'nt work.

It’s like when I plug in PICKit3 after the PC has started and I have to reboot the PC with PICKit3 plugged.

I don’t understand what the trouble is and why PICKit3 works well with Win10 only if the PC boots with the PICKit3 connected.

It seems like if windows 10 recognizes this device only if it’s connected when starting.


I tried to desinstall / reinstall (automatically) the USB driver but there is no change.

I need some help to make PICKit3 working normally with my PC under Win10.

Best regards

:)

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Yahoo Mail and recent security issues


Howdy Caledon Ken,
Thanks for the suggestions! I must say that I've used the same ATT server and Thunderbird for all my mail for a long time. The concept of switching over seems daunting. Might you elaborate simply on the two step verification. Old dog and new ways kinda issue!!!
