Communication Error - Bulletin Suggestion

[RJS100]

I have happily been using Acorn and CNC12 for almost 3 years. Despite buying one of the Centroid suggested Intel Nuc's and following all the detailed suggestions in the communication error bulletin 270... I could never solve this problem. I updated the suggested drivers from the mfg websites, ran the PC tuner and tried everything but intermittent comm error persisted. It was suggested that I nix the NUC, but after spending close to $500 on it, I really did not want to give up. Recently on a different computer, my Bluetooth button suddenly vanished after a Windows update. It was just GONE! No Bluetooth to be found

I solved the missing Bluetooth button after reading an internet post that said that in a number of cases windows does not properly update ALL drivers causing possible communication conflicts. The solution was quite simply. Run the Intel Driver & Support Assistant. This simple Intel utility scans your computer and updates all Intel drivers that may be out of date. I ran it, rebooted the computer and presto... Bluetooth was back!

I immediately ran this same utility on my Intel Nuc and it identified three drivers that needed to be updated. A Bluetooth driver, Wifi driver and another I was not familiar with (Yes, I had run the windows update and supposedly... all drivers were up to date). I have been running CNC12 almost continuously for the last 2 weeks and have not had a single communication error. For what it's worth, I highly suggest adding this utility to bulletin 270 in hopes that it may help some other desperate user
