Windows version fails completely :(

[MrPeteH]

I have this in Admin mode...

The Good News: launch works. Refresh to find port (COM4) works.

The bad news (Win10 Pro 22H2, 19045.3208 on HP Zbook nice i( laptop ;) )
Two repeatable issues:

• Read IEEE gives: "Connecting to target" (delay) then"write timeout"
• Read nvRAM gives "could not open port 'COM4': PermissionError(13, 'Access is denied', None, 5)

Plus one one-off Event Viewer event.
Faulting application name: ZigStarGW-MT.exe, version: 0.3.5.0, time stamp: 0x61689c3d
Faulting module name: Qt5Core.dll, version: 5.15.2.0, time stamp: 0x5fa4dd3b
Exception code: 0xc0000409
Fault offset: 0x00000000000204e8
Faulting process id: 0x7f24

I had additional errors, while working my way to a functioning workaround.

I did eventually succeed with this workaround process:

1. Install a USB-to-COM-port driver such as CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver
2. Modify properties of ZigStarGW-MT.exe as follows in "Compatibility" tab: run as Administrator; High DPI override using System; run in compatibility mode for Windows 7
3. Open the app before attaching the device
4. Do not scan for the com port. Type it in (you can see which one in Device Manager.)
5. Now you can read NVRAM, and erase/burn/verify correctly without errors.

Workaround works, thanks!
