    Just updated to 3.1.5 from some old version and Argyll 1.8.3 and for some reason Displaycal doesn’t see my Sypder 4.  Swapped the usb ports and still nothing.

    The device manager shows it as Argyll LibUSB-win32 devices [Sypder4 (Argyll)].

    Here’s the log

    Hi,

    Just updated to 3.1.5 from some old version and Argyll 1.8.3 and for some reason Displaycal doesn’t see my Sypder 4. Swapped the usb ports and still nothing.

    Please run

    D:\Argyll_V1.8.3\bin\dispcal.exe -v -D8 -?

    and attach the output as a text file (don’t paste the text inline).

    The device manager shows it as Argyll LibUSB-win32 devices [Sypder4 (Argyll)].

    That looks normal.

    One additional log coming up. Weird that it doesn’t support piping aka >log.txt

    Thanks. The vendor and product id doesn’t even appear in the debug output. Have you tried removing and re-installing the Argyll driver?

    Weird that it doesn’t support piping aka >log.txt

    It needs stderr redirection as well, i.e. 2>&1 >log.txt

    Yup already tried that, do you know where I can grab an older version of Argyll? Perhaps the newer version is the problem?

    Just changing the version number of the download link should work e.g. http://argyllcms.com/Argyll_V1.7.0_win64.zip

    Hmmm nope no go either.  I know the device still works, installed the Datacolor’s software and it works.  Even nuked the drivers from the DriverStore folder.

    What info are you looking for in the output log?  I can keep an eye out to see if there’s any changes

    This is really weird…. I’m using virtualBox and neither a clean Windows 8 nor Ubuntu are recongizing it (log shows the same Enumerating display devices and then ….ok)

    Only if Argyll sees the instrument. It doesn’t.

    I wouldn’t expect Argyll running in a guest OS somehow being able to detect it if can’t detect it when running on the host. Have you another physical machine that you can try?

    Sadly no, although I think I could use a cd boot ubuntu. It’ll probably be a few days though…

    I wonder if one of the windows 10 updates borked something up with

    What’s weird is that Argyll enumerates 16 libusb (virtual?) devices, but none of them seem to be related to the Spyder.

    Are there any registery entries pretaining to Argyll?  I did a quick search “Argyll” and found nothing really interesting.  Perhaps that’s where those 16 entries are coming from.

    No, the 16 entries are normal, but one of them should be the Spyder (in my case, it’s the first one).

    Finally got time to try it out… unfortunately you can’t seem to install software from a CD boot, course now that I think about it duh…

    So I have no idea what to do now :-\

    I have the same problem. On my Surface Pro 4, the DisplayCAL utility detects the Spyder 4 without any issues, but on my new Desktop not, no matter what USB Port. I even tried using a USB 2 port, but that also didn’t help. In Device manager the Sypder 4 seems to be installed ok with the Argyll drivers.
