I'm having an annoying issue that started when I upgraded a machine from W7 to W10 and trying to get a USB-6009 to work under MX base (v15) on a computer that has both the full and the base versions of NI DAQ installed. The problem is that when the device is plugged in to the computer, the driver that is auto-installed is the one appropriate for the full version of MX, not the base version. Following the guide on the NI knowledgebase (Document 1, Document 2), I went into Device Manager, changed the driver to the USB Multifunction device, and then went to the MX base 'update firmware' application to send base-appropriate firmware to the device. This procedure works fine under Windows 7. However, Windows 10 does ...something during the firmware update process and immediately reinstalls the full MX driver, which of course is no help.
I can if need be rewrite my LabView code to use the full MX library, but I would prefer not to since this particular widget needs to be able to run on both a PC and a Mac and I'd rather not maintain a forked code base with two different driver libraries.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
