    I kindly brought here my experience with Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 on 5 PCs of different brands. (Windows 7 in my opinion is the responsibility of those who want to use it).

    On none of these machines GEX was able to write the map to the hard disk, GEX 7.4 and GEX 7.5 did it without problems.

    How many people have written here about problems with 7.4 or 7.5?

    Are your problems (activation of the cards on the PC AND recognition of the devices) fixed with the new version 7.7.1.0?

    Version 7.7.1.0 recognized my machine but did not complete the update and then stopped recognizing the machine. Now my Garmin device does not shut off. It shows that it is still attached to the computer.  Before 7.7.1.0 I could at least use the device now it shows that it is still attached to the computer even though it was running in the car. The device is now useless.

    Version 7.7.1.0 does not recognize either of my three machines. Previous version is lost! All previous versions have worked perfectly until now.

    My problems of the application intermittently hanging at the splash screen and failing to open the main application window or system tray icon since version 7.6.0.0, is now fixed with new version 7.7.1.0 available to download from the Garmin website, but not upgrade through GE.

    Hallelujah!

    7.7.1.0 made my device useless. It shows the device attached to the computer and will not turn on or turn off. It's just sit there until the battery is dead.

    That is of course more than annoying! Can't you turn off the devices by holding down the power button for a long time?

    Try the following:

    Uninstall Garmin Express from the Control Panel. Restart the system and delete this hidden folder: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Garmin_Ltd._or_its_subsid

    Then reinstall GE 7.7.1.0 cleanly. Are now at least the other devices recognized by GE?

    Thanks Macke. Holding the power button for a long time got it to reset. I just tried it in the car and it is working. Hooray!! I will not update my other machines until another update comes out.

    Hi JimAcile!

    I'm glad for you and nice that you have reported back. :-)

    The tip to delete the folder "Garmin_Ltd._or_its_subsid" (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Garmin_Ltd._or_its_subsid) after an uninstallation of an old version of GE and BEFORE a new installation of GE, I can only recommend to you.

    In the German forum a user had success with it - his devices were recognized again.

    I downloaded garmin express from garmin website today Sunday the 4th and now have 7.7.1.0 installed. Weird they didn't release it from the garmin express itself.
