    What device is this connected to?

    Is it running windows and what version?

    What driver version are you using? 

    Have you tried installing the stand alone driver and not installing the utility?

      What device is this connected to? desktop Medion Desktop from last year

      Is it running windows and what version? win 10 version 2004

      What driver version are you using? the standalone and I think its the newest one

      Have you tried installing the stand alone driver and not installing the utility? That I do everytime when I start my computer and I have tried to uninstall it also, and then I only install the  STANDALONE version

        Medion desktop from last year tells us nothing. 

        Have you tried it in a different pc/laptop to see if its an issue with your specific pc?

    Why? What error messages, or strange behaviour, do you see that force this on you?

     

    In other words what symptoms cause you to reinstall every time?

     


    I think its the newest one

     

    Why not check this? Seems like an obvious first move.
