Updated to V5.2 and now I get "garmin express unable to connect to the background service and will close" Running Windows 10. Have tried uninstalling reinstalling multiple times, Tried using the Uninstall tool Garmin has pointed others to for problems and removed everything they list. Checked that running most current .net framework. Tried two older versions and still get the same message. Not using base camp, only have a Forerunner 405 and Edge 500. Nothing has made a difference

Just tried that again and still no go. This is pretty sad Express works on my MAC but not the windows machine. Guess I am going to be stuck taking my devices from the gym computer into the house when ever I want to download the 500 or run updates.
