TrackIR 5 stopped working all of a sudden

Hi there,
been using TrackIR for a while, on FSX steam coupled to OpusFSX, and I never had an issue. Today, I started as usual, but I saw only one light was lit, and it wasn't detecting any movement. So I opened the TrackIR interface, and it seemes fine, but no clip/proclip detected (those 3 green dots).Browsing on the forums, I did everything requested (uninstalled everything, downloaded software, installed as admin, plugged in, etc) Fact is that Win10 sees my Track IR (it is not an "unknown device"), it works (I can pause it, the red lights turn on), and I see it connected on the program interface (it appears and disappears when I plug it in and out) but it doesn't detect any clip....
Any ideas?
Thanks
Fede

As far as I know nothing changed anywhere on my computer but all of a sudden Spell Catcher stopped working. Can you help with what to look for to get it going again?
Many thanks

Same here since today...
After the latest Win 10 update:
2018-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4284822)
it worked for a couple days, then all of a sudden the camera appeared to go nuts, wiggling all around, and then simply stopped working.
I made all possible fixes, including a total erase of the software and drivers, re-install, everything.
The TIR 5 software works, but there are no green leds lit up on the unit.
Tried with track clip and track clip pro

Hello all,
We have tested it against the recent windows update (v1803) on multiple computers, but somehow we were not able to reproduce any crash/connection issues. We are still keeping an eye on it, but if you need further assistance, please email us at support@naturalpoint.com with the descriptions of the issue and details about when it started happening.
Sincerely,

Same thing here: TrackIR stopped tracking but ONLY in TrackClipPro mode. The 4 red status lights don't lit up. In trackclip mode they do and tracking is fine.
I updated to latest Windows 10 version (1803 KBB4340917) today and the issue appeared.
Rolling back doesn't resolve the issue, neither does uninstalling and installing TrackIR software.
Curious if any of the other reporters resolved the issue.

I have the same problem for 6 months. after a long period of madness, it does not work anymore. the 4 leds in the sensor are lit, the red leds come on when it is paused. I did not change anything in my configuration. to read forum posts, I find that we have different hardware and software configurations, but the problem is the same.
I do not want to believe in a planned obsolescence.
So, please find a solution.
