Connecting Mbot to Windows 10


#1

I have 11 mbots with 8 computers all running Windows 10 Education 1803. Mblock 5 latest

6 of my computers happily connect to the mbot with the student users, however the last 2 Mblock does not seem to recognise the mbot.

The mbot shows in device manager as COM 4.

When using the admin login the same computer connects the mbot to mblock with no issues.

There are no differences between the student accounts on each system. As far as I can tell all systems are patched to the same level, they are all built identically and they are all the same HP Elite 8000 systems.

It feels like a permissions issue, but I cant see where yet!

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Neil.

It should be the permission issue. On the two computers, when you open mBlock software, please run as an administrator. Please also make sure the student account has same permission to the software as administrator account.
