IC-9100 USB driver issues with WIN10 PRO ver 1803
I'm having an issue with the USB drivers for my IC-9100 WIN10 1803 setup that I'm setting up for FD. Odd thing is I have it working on other WIN10 PC's running 1803. Is anyone having the same issue? I'm trying to setup an HP Spectre PRO x360 G1 i7 laptop. I've tried all the fixes online and none seem to work.

Ok. I will add to this. I had no problem connecting the following USB devices with no driver upgrades needed to my new laptop. FT-817 with a USB 62c, or a 11 year old K3 with new USB add on connectivity. Plug and play. I even went back to WIN10 ver 1709 and STILL can't get the 9100 USB to work.
From the Icom website...
We have an update from our previous posting regarding the compatibility between the latest version of Windows 10 and Icom Drivers used on the IC-R8600, IC-7300 and IC-7610. Icom Inc. has confirmed there is an issue and are in the process of developing an update which they will add to their global website download page.
In the meantime, we have been given four solutions to fix the issue temporarily:
. Download USB driver 10.1.2 (updated on 14. May 2018) from Silicon Labs web site. . Download USB driver 6.7.5 (updated on 13. Oct. 2017) from Silicon Labs web site. This driver is commonly used in OS Windows 7, 8., and Windows 10. . Use the latest version of our USB Driver from the Icom Inc.global web site (Version is 1.20 for IC-7100/ IC-7200/ IC-7300/ IC-7410/ IC-7600/ IC-7610/ IC-7850/ IC-7851/ IC-9100). As marked driver's information is 6.7.0. . Use PC Windows 10 version 1709.
As soon as we have anymore information, we will post on our website.
Well in my case none of this works. I'm fortunate that I have a backup laptop that will work for FD. It makes you wonder though, why does Icom always have all these stupid connectivity issues. I was thinking of selling my Flex VU5K, and IC-9100 and getting an IC-9700 but now I'm rethinking that...

Problem solved, a comedy of errors. When WIN10 1803 stated to install itself bit by bit I lost connectivity with my 9100. Not knowing what was going in on (the formal install of 1803 didn't start yet) First thing I tried was a different USB cable. What had caused the original problem (WIN10 1803 compatibly issue with the USB drivers used by Icom) turned into two issues, I added a bad USB cable to the mix. Also the USB driver version 1.30 wasn't posted to the Icom USA website till this morning, I found a copy at the Icom UK website. So this morning after some Coffee I back tracked everything I did, even un installed 1803. After installing the 1.30 drivers, and with the first USB cable all is working again. Bad cable, and ver 1.20 both are trash :-)
