Making a new Program from Connectivity Kit crashes G2

[Hammonds]

I just got a new G2. Windows 10.

First day with the connectivity kit (CK) (latest available), had the problem where it pauses for 10-20 seconds sometimes on random interactions, and almost always long-pauses if you maximize another program over the window and then go back to the CK. But, at least I could slowly, but surely load programs and apps.

Second day, I decided to upgrade the firmware to latest version. I now get all sorts of errors - including the reset when trying to make a new program on the CK (just naming it...). The reset clears the memory of my prime, as well. Apps, programs, vars, etc, gone. G2 and CK seems to be a HIGHLY unstable combo. It was resetting my prime left and right and each time, everything cleared.

C'mon folks. This is ridiculous. Try USB2 vs USB3 ports....maybe you need to do some extra memory format type of command....etc... (this is what I'm expecting...which is really even further down the path of silliness when you think about it)

I have an hp50g and its connectivity software is working fine after I installed the necessary drivers under admin. Never had complete memory wipes like this. (no wonder they are in such demand). I had a G1 ver. C years ago that worked fine. It seems to be bad form to criticize in any way for massive, crippling fear of support going away entirely, but if this is where we're already at...

I tried 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the CK, btw...both behave similarly poor when connecting to calc.
