If you happen to be using Windows 11 in S mode, this tells you how to un-S yourself....I had this very problem the other day with a person unable to install Sentinel.

Im running Windows 10 and of course Microsoft always asks about using 11.

So the correct question is I have SENTINAL running on Windows 10 if I upgrade to Windows 11 will it still run?
ANSWER is YES.

Im running Windows 10 and of course Microsoft always asks about using 11.

As the others have reflected the answer is "yes" but I see no urgent need to jump aboard the Windows 11 train right away. Windows plans to end support for Windows 10 October, 2025 (source) Albeit this doesn't mean the OS will stop running beyond that date there just won't be any more system updates (which may be a good thing, ha) but I digress...

I just got a SDS 100 today, I have new laptop with 11. I downloaded Sentinel but I can’t seem to connect to the scanner. I’m thinking it’s a USB problem. I did find the “battery saver” for the USB ports and shut that off. Right now I’m using the zip code feature. I’m an old retired guy, Sentinel looks like I have a lot of learning to do

Did you put your scanner in "Mass Storage Mode" to connect with Sentinel?

Did you put your scanner in "Mass Storage Mode" to connect with Sentinel?

I tried to find that on the scanner but I couldn’t. I think it connected this afternoon though because Sentinal was displaying SDS100. Tomorrow I am going to try to create my favorites then I’ll try to upload that to the scanner

When you plug in the USB cable into the scanner and computer watch the display on the scanner. You will get a message about Mass Storage Mode, if you ignore it it will go away and enter "Serial Mode", which, absent a computer application running is just the regular operational mode.

If you press ENTER while that message is displayed it will go into Mass Storage Mode, making the radio essentially an SD Card reader. Then Sentinel can find it and allow you to read/write the data and update the firmware.
