Welcome to the nightmare that is USB-C, where the only thing you can be certain of is endless headaches because of the lies that surround this connector. It could be that your port doesn't support HDMI out, or perhaps it's your cable. You may never know. USB-C is trash.
Here's the problem! USB-C is a connector. A physical port. But the protocols that individual jack supports depend on specifications both ridiculous and arcane! You can't even be sure of USB 3.1 data transfer with a USB-C port.
Every damn USB-C port needs to be labeled "ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE!"

In reply to jimchamplin:Thanks. It definitely supports HDMI and displayport over Thunderbolt 3. It's a high end brand new laptop, not an older model with a shoddy usb-c port. This is a driver configuration issue within WIndows.

In reply to Jesse_Starr:All fair, but the problem wouldn't be so ridiculous if it weren't for how stupid an idea it is to have one port for everything.
Good luck though. There's no bigger pain in the rear than inexplicable driver issues.

this might be a stupid suggestion, but can you try rebooting with the dongle still plugged in? or plugging in the dongle when the machine is off and then powering it on? Also, is the dongle connecting via thunderbolt or USB 3.x? The reason i'm asking this is because Thunderbolt itself is an alternate mode on USB-C, which means if your dongle is using Thunderbolt, it could mean Thunderbolt itself isn't working, you can try verify this by plugging in another Thunderbolt accessory and see if it works. You may need to re-install the Intel Thunderbolt driver.
If the dongle is connecting via USB 3.x and it still doesn't work, it could mean that Alternate Mode on a whole is f#$%ed.
If you suspect other driver issues, then first check if Windows's own USB-C driver is loaded (UcmUcsi.sys), you can do this by opening up Device Manager and then looking for "UCSI USB Connector Manager" in the Universal Serial Bus controllers tree.
It might be worth seeing if Windows Update Minitool to transparently see which driver update might need to be installed.

Hi,
Have you found any solution for this ? I have a similar problem. I have updated all the drivers, installed the lastest versions of the BIOS and Firmware. I still have this problem. I just purshased this PC as a second hand device. Don't know what to do!

I'm trying to use my new GIGA board on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer using IDE v1.8.19. After installing the board from the Boards manager, the COM port is not showing up correctly in Windows. The Device Manager shows it as "Other devices / Giga" (with a yellow exclamation mark).

I completed items 1-3 but have not resolved the issue. The Giga board shows INSTALLED int he boards mamager. As I mentioned, the board connected with no issues on my Windows 10 computer, it's just not the one I usually use for coding.

Probably this is the Problem why Windows 10 cannot handle correct GIGA R1 Board..
Under Windows devicemanager my GIGA R1 Board appears as a microsoft Device an not other Board, like the Micro, as a Arduino Device...

@weezyworks_de What you found out is interesting. Please use the Contact us
form to contact Arduino Tech Support with all the details of the issue and what you found out . It will be looked into in details and solution to the issue found.

I tried to change the driver file manually to correct PID: 0x0366, but Windows 10 notices the manual change and refuses to install the driver, because the driver signature verification are fault after changing manually.

I'm working on a shed automation project with a friend of mine, I recommended the Arduino GiGA board since i knew it had all the capability, we just received the board and haven't been able to upload anything.

Arduino giga shows up under device manager as giga (other Devices) and no serial port for comms, hopefully Ardunio releases a driver that works for this board soon, we just bought this board and haven't been able to use for anything, its a bit disappointing.

I just received my Giga R1 boards and have IDE 2.2.1 loaded on my Win10 HP Elitedesk G2 with "Arduino MBed OS Giga Boards" 4.0.6 board manager loaded. I plug in the Giga R1 and get a green LED next to the power connector. I cannot see the port for the Giga R1 in the IDE, and windows Device Manager does not see a COM port when I plug the Giga R1 in like I can see with a Mega. There are no 'issues' in Device Manager. I have tried several brand new USB-A-to-USB-C cables with no change.

Issue resolved... I held the BOOT0 button for about 5 seconds and the STM32CubeProgrammer was able to see the board and I was able to load the .elf file. After that, the board popped right up.

I'm trying to establish a connection to my recently updated to Windows 11 PC, using a usb C to usb A connector from my Canon Eos R. It is failing to get a connection. I've used two separate usb leads with the same result. The camera has no problem appearing as a drive on a Windows 10 computer with the same leads, and its firmware version is up to date. This is really annoying, as it also makes it impossible to use the Canon utility software. Does anyone know a ready made solution, or whether there ever will be one?

Beyond that, here are some setup suggestions that might help:
* If it is not there already, make sure the camera is plugged into a USB on the back of your computer. (The front USB ports can be a little weaker sometimes.)
* Since you're having problems downloading, disconnect all other devices except the keyboard, mouse, and camera from the computer.
* Close any other programs you have open, and exit out of any image-related or printer-related programs in the system tray, found in the bottom right corner of your computer screen. If you don't see the program icons, look for a small triangle by the time display. Click that and you should see the icons. You should be able to close them by right clicking the icons and selecting the exit option.

If so, right click on the camera icon and select uninstall. When it finishes uninstalling, turn your camera off. Wait a few seconds then turn it on. A window should come up that says FOUND NEW HARDWARE DEVICE, keep clicking the NEXT button, until it finishes. Then see if you can connect to your camera once again.

If you see another camera, like a webcam, listed in the Device Manager, right click on it and select DISABLE. It is possible that you are getting interference from that device. When you are done with your tests, you can reactivate it by right clicking on it and selecting ENABLE.

No luck with any of these suggested tweaks. The only place where the camera shows up is in portable devices.. as an MTP USB device.. and as an eos digital device icon in printers and devices. It's barely there. And the troubleshooter can't help.

I think it's pretty obvious there is no Windows 11 driver for the Eos R yet. By comparison, I can see my old 6D as a separate drive, and open it like the others. I can get around all of this by putting the SD card in my computer's card reader. But I'm worried my canon xf300 will have the same issues, and I don't have a flash drive reader. But I do have an old Mac Pro running Catalina. So I'll see if Canon's XF utility software still reads the camcorder on that system. It should..

Nick2000 has covered many of the likely scenarios for an unrecognized USB device. If the Camera appears correctly in Device Manager, also look at Disk Management to see if windows has assigned a drive letter. If not, it will not display in Windows Explorer.

Thanks to all for the helpful suggestions. I gave up trying to get my new Windows 11 desktop to read the Eos R. But the latest Canon XF utility software reads my XF300 just fine, so I can download all my files without having to purchase a compatible flash drive adaptor. That's something of a relief, as the XF300 is now quite old, though still very useful.

Plugging the whole camera into your computer, means the card has an extra step to communicate with the camera, and the camera with the computer. Instead, simply turn off your camera, remove the card and plug it into a suitable card slot in the computer or get a USB card reader (lots available). The computer will recognize the card as a drive and you can then download your images.

Hi Tronhard, I've been using my USB cable since forever, and I've never had an issue until I moved to Windows 11. The issue here is strictly to do with Windows 11 and there is no hardware issue. That indicates to me that Canon have not produced a driver suitable for Windows 11, even though Windows 11 has been well signalled. Additionally, if you want to fry a memory card, handle it all the time. You will eventually succeed. The only time I ever remove a memory card from my camera (I now have 128MB card, so that very rarely happens) is when it gets full when I'm shooting. I haven't managed to succeed in that since I've had my EOS R, so there is no need. Handling cards almost guarantees that the card will fault. In all my time using digital cameras, over a decade, I've only ever had one fault, and that was on my first EOS camera, a 300D, when I tried to change the card while it was still writing. So, your suggestion is the worst possible suggestion. The best suggestion is that Canon gets its act together and fixes the issue, so that people don't have to remove the card from the camera. I will tell you this: I have done a test, by using the same cable that I previously used on my old computer, with the same brand motherboard, and also on my laptop before it was upgraded to Windows 11. When it was installed with Windows 10, there was no issue.

And I also don't agree with you about how fast it is to download images using a card reader. One, I have to take the card from camera, locate the card reader (I always have the USB cable attached to my computer for downloads, so I never have to locate that) and then I have to download all of the images, and then rename the folder to the date (done automatically by the software, according to camera and date) and then move the files from the various dates into the correct folder, a very time consuming an tedious task. I would also note that all of the later cameras, EOS R5 and forward, have a Windows 11 compatible firmware update. The EOS R does not, and yet it is still a currently for sale camera. Pretty slack, if you ask me.
