Randomly freezing with Windows 10.
Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2015 12:08 pm
Have been using a SmartNav 4 since 2008. It worked brilliantly with Windows XP, and I had no issues with Windows 7 and Windows 8. I found it to be hit and miss with Windows Vista (although I have to admit I didn't persevere and simply switched back to Windows XP).
I can't seem to fathom the problem with Windows 10. It can go for days without a problem, then suddenly the SmartNav just stops responding. There is no pattern. Sometimes the six red LED lights go out as does the green movement indicator at the top, and sometimes it's only the green indicator. I have four SmartNav units, so I know it's not the hardware. I thought it was a power issue, so I plugged in a powered USB hub to run the SmartNav.
Interestingly, starting Skype, stops the SmartNav straightaway, all the time. Needless to say, I've removed Skype for the time being.
Any suggestions please.
