I've been using this program since it first came out and was working flawlessly till I installed Windows 10. Now I can still use the program but the Cat Interface does not connect to the PC.

Make sure that you have both Log4OM and OmniRig set to run as "Administrator". Of course that is assuming you are using OmniRig.

No luck, I have Log4OM good for the Firewall but OmniRig does not show on the list

No! you need to download and install Omnirig and then read our user guide to see how to set it up!

The user guide and the 20 plus instructional YouTube videos that I produced cover everything you need to know, please study them!

Yes I'm using serial to USB adapter on both of my radios, I have a ICON IC 746Pro and a Ten-Tec 588 Omni VII.

A Windows update sometimes causes this

Thanks Terry,
After numerous tests I was able to make the radio visible to Log4om but only with Hamlib.
I also use HRD v.5.24.0.38 and I have no CAT problems.
Even the ARCP-590 works well.
Instead Omnirig does not work and I do not know if it will be up to date.
From your answer I can think that other OM have this problem and probably will not be solved.

Thanks again for the answer.
