Pre 2023 rinLINK cables with Windows 11

Depending on the Windows update settings on your machine, it may be found that the rinLINK cable stops working after a Windows update. This is because Windows may automatically update your driver to the latest versions which causes the incompatibility issue with Windows 11.

To use a rinLINK cable (with no white or raised dot) with Windows 11, an older driver must be used that is not aware of Windows 11.
