VCDS not running on new Laptop

 

Went to use my genuine VCDS Hex+Can on my 2015 R today so fired up my new HUAWEI Ryzen5 Windows 11 Laptop, downloaded the latest Version and off to the car.

 

Have used the cable on this car before but not with this Laptop. VCDS would n ot recognise the cable so I went onto Roos-Tech site and check for issues, removed reinstalled, booted into Safe Mode which was listed as a dead cert to get it running, tried different USB sockets (all USB3) but nothing would persuade VCDS to recognise the cable.

 

Went back indoors and dug out my old 11inch Notebook from 2012, running Win7 on an Atom, charged the battery and waited.

 

This is running a 2020 version of VCDS which I had previously used on my R, connected it up and the cable was recognised and all worked perfectly.

 

Have been unable to find any more info as to why the latest VCDS would not connect via my Win 11 Ryzen machine.

 

Has anyone encountered similar issues and have a fix/suggestion I can try to get it working.

Did you add legacy driver during installation?

 

Might be worth removing and installing software again (I was caught out with this)

No, followed the instructions to the letter as have not used VCDS for some time so had to read up on Ross-Tech

VCDS Hex+Can is now listed as "legacy driver's"

Thanks, Just reinstalling now, will try again later in the week when I have time.
