Has anyone had problems with the Garmin GLD 82 install/configuration program where it would connect to the GDL 82, display the unit info correctly, and then disconnect a second or two later?
Ok so I installed one of these:

On my ELT antenna and that seemed to solve the problem of losing the GPS 3D fix
When I ran these ground tests I used a big heavy Desktop computer running Windows 10, a keyboard, mouse and monitor. The Garmin install tool worked fine. I configured the GDL 82 and tested the configuration.
But that's too klunky and I don't want to lug all that stuff to the airport every time I need to do an upgrade or check the system.
So I bought an ACER laptop running W10.
Today I installed the GDL install/configuration tool, and ran it.
I get this at the start:
So the laptop sees the device. I can sit there all day long and nothing changed on this window - the device stays present.
Then I click on GDL 82 and go to the Unit Information page:
It sees the correct data.
But that lasted only about 1 second and then it disconnects and I get this:
If I unplug the USB port and plug it back in, the data comes up again as connected but then it disconnects within a second or two.
I can't tell if the GDL 82 is the problem or something about the laptop.
I shut off all firewalls, disconnected from the internet, shut off Norton entirely, turned off everything I thought might interfere.
No change.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there some problem with hooking up a different computer to the GDL 82 than the one it was configured with?
