very possibly could be that then - fm3 edit would work fine but if i was attempting to do something on my daw it would freeze -taking the cable out of the laptop would make it work again. So i switched to a usb3 port and it was fine.
Chrome is aware of USB connected devices unlike many other browsers. It’s possible that Chrome is contending with FM3-Edit for the connection to the modeler and doesn’t know how to handle rejection and crashes.
We can use Chrome-based browsers to update Peterson’s tuners, which means they’re touching the USB connection.
For Windows, Edge. Sometimes there’s a better mouse trap, sometimes the stuff that comes with the OS is best. Especially at this point in time. I use to be always trying the latest greatest software like anti virus. Here again I just use MS Security Suite. It’s free and will catch the 80% to 90% of stuff. I find that most of the really nasty malicious software comes from visiting sites that are part of the nasty part of town.
I found that this type of stuff is missed 75% of the time by the big AV suites. Combine that with the performance hit they put on your machine and they’re not worth it for me. I make sure to have a periodic backup (ghosted drive, etc.) in case of catastrophe. Oh and stay away from certain websites.
You probably know better than me, but isn’t Chrome more Edgy based? I always thought Chrome just used Explorer’s code and played with it.
Chromium came from Google. It is open-source and Microsoft has become a large contributor and Edge is built on that base.
Did you try another browser?
Do you still have Chrome running when this happens?
