    I recently had the "opportunity" to upgrade but remain on 3.6.38. It works for me and I don't want any adventure.

    Had no choice. Added an ATC to my machine and had to move to 3.8. It seems much more temperamental then 3.6. But at least SBLink still works (kinda) and my business can keep going making cabinets.

    Thanks for the suggestions everybody. The USB cable swap is cheap insurance. And yes I checked, I'm using 3.8.50 I think I upgraded when I got V Carve Pro 9.0 Thinking back, I didn't have this problem the first few years on an older version.
