Hi, I bought my Flirc dongle November of last year and had it working beautifully with a Logitech 650 and Kodi on my Windows 10 PC. With no change to the setup, as far as I can tell, flirc stopped reading any input from my remote around February. Inconvenient, but I ignored it and just used a kb/m for a while and put off finding a fix for a while. I uninstalled the flirc windows application and reinstalled it a few times. The application was still showing "Connected" but not reading any input.

Aside: Everything still works great when connected to my Apple desktop and macbook.

So I decided I really wanted to fix this today. I went with a nuclear approach, blew away and reinstalled Windows 10 and all of my applications. Flirc still couldn't read from my remote. I ended up on another Windows 10 discussion here that linked to driver installation instructions via Zadig utility. This is probably where I REALLY messed up. I think this was instruction for a v1 flirc, so now after modifying my driver, the flirc application is showing "DISCONNECTED" and I'm definitely at my wit's end. Please help, I have no idea what to try to get this all working again.

Zadig is only for gen1. Let's set up a remote session, I'll help you fix it.

Hi Jason, thanks for responding so quickly. I ended up spending the rest of the day reinstalling windows again and getting Flirc back to the "Connected" state in the app. I could see it was still not reading my remote, and had a thought that after all this it just had to be something else interfering with the signal. I plugged the Flirc USB into one of the rear ports and sure enough (!!), if I reach the remote back there and press buttons, the Flirc is receiving input. I have a ton of gadgets all packed into the corner that is my entertainment center, so I'll be moving some things around.

EDIT: It was my HTC Vive Base Stations! Turned them off, all is right in the world.

Ah! they use infrared, it was probably flooding the flirc sensor. Thanks so much, great find.

 Any way to recover from using the zadig on a V2 device?  Bit stuck where the app won't recognize the device.
