Problem solved and everything working!
The issue was with the driver from 2017!
Going to “Device Manager” in Win10 and uninstalling (with removal of the driver) did instantly fix the problem without a reboot even necessary.
Windows and MP now reports two devices once the Orange Cube is plugged in:
- “Cube Orange Mavlink (COMx)”
- “Cube Orange SLCAN (COMy)”
MP as well as GQC are now working perfectly fine!
I hope this helps the next guy sorting out the driver issue on Windows OS. In this case the problem was that I installed a “stable” MP first and then updated MP with the latest beta and the latest MP driver msi.
I should have downloaded and started with a Beta/latest MP build from the get go as Windows 10 just stuck with the old driver Version 1.0.0.1 and never used the newer driver that installed minutes later.
