The problem is communicating between my CLICK PLC and laptop.

Googling PnP I found a lot of stuff that probably has nothing to do with your question, but I remember seeing the term when I was having trouble getting my computer monitor to display correctly. It refers to generic monitor drivers that Windows machines use if they can't find the manufacturer specific driver for a monitor you have connected. If that sounds like something that can be relevant, try googling "PnP monitor".What does that mean?

I was reading way to much into it.Plug-n-play. most pc accessories these days are plug-n-play. Monitors, printers, USB devices ect.
Are you useing the EA-MG-PGM-CBL from automation direct?? I think it is the only way.
I like the CLICK. They are pretty simple to use and putting a good HMI ahead of it makes the visable part just as good as the ABs I've used on other projects. The only problem I had was one that needed reset after being with no power for a year. I put a battery in it and haven't had a call back for a couple years now.How do you like those Click's Tom? I used a couple on small projects a few years ago, one on my sprinkler system and I haven't had a single issue so far. I'm still debating whether they are industrial enough to sell to our ag customers for small projects that take more than a handful of relays.
I do LOVE the DoMore controller AD sells. I installed one on a good sized feed mill and it was way easier than I expected, coming from a guy with limited programming knowledge.
do you have right driver for your device? Seems like you need to go to AD site and find the right one - it will not automatically load.What does that mean?

I changed PC's I was using one time installed program software on the second PC, but took a while to realize I needed to also install driver for the USB adapter when I couldn't link to the Click PLC.Yes, it all worked until lately

You may have a bad device, corrupt driver, or are just overlooking something.
Maybe try to remove/reinstall driver.
N... I updated to windows 10...
Right there is the problem. :happyyes:...I know with Win10 many people have had issues with printers and other devices suddenly not working and the fix is...
In the future an uninstall and reinstall may be an easier fix. I know with Win10 many people have had issues with printers and other devices suddenly not working and the fix is uninstall and reinstall.
I was not able to follow your thread due to the very limited information trickling out.
I'm telling you, it is Windows 10.It is not the USB hardware, it works with the old XP laptop and I've had all the fun I want. Time to call in the local gurus.
The 30 minute project turned into several hours over several days of Off & On fun. Typical.
