Afternoon.....
Anybody here running CumulusMX under Windows 10 ?
The reason why I ask is I was running it with no problems, but since installing an update and the system resetting everything, now CumulusMX refuses to start, instead it trys to run on another Com Port, which I don't get !
Previous version of Cumulus runs fine, set on correct com port, works under Weatherlink as well, just to make sure about correct com port allocation. The Davis console uses a UBS Weatherlink Dongle, then through Weatherlink the software chooses com port 6. I've tried unplugging all USB devices in the hope of the dongle setting up on the right port, but to no avail.....go figure ! Why should the previous version work fine ? Trying to run CumulusMX results in incorrect com port being chosen, I don't get that, even when everything is disconnected, still no dice.
Then I thought about Microsoft and the NET 4.5 software, Windows 10 installs version 4.52 by default, is this the problem ? Damn Windows 10 is a pain as far as hardware goes, it's supposed to be backwards compatible.....that's a joke !!
Any suggestions would be great, would love to get MX back up, if only to get all my graphs back and get SQL updated.

OK Forgot I can reassign ports - woops......old head forgot.....All sorted !! MX working fine. Interesting about the fact that Microsoft's Edge browser in the latest Windows 10 update doesn't like the CumulusMX interface, and refuses to show it, saying it can't find the page - weird !! I loaded in the trust worthy old Internet Explorer, and there you go - Interface loads in, displays all good.......

Re: CumulusMX running under Windows 10
I was surprised how easy it was to get Cumulus to run on Win 10. I plugged in my Ambient weather ws-2080 into usb and started the software.
