This seems to be my last resort in solving this problem, I hope someone has had this issue before and can provide a new direction into solving this.
Scenario: had an upgrade from 6.7 U1 to 6.7 U3, so took the time to install the latest remote console software (worked fine).

I was unfamiliar with the hcmon.sys file before this issue started. From what I learned, this should be provided by the OS under the System32 < drivers folder.
It seems this one is missing on my device, but I’m unsure if it should be there (I also read a hcmon.sys file is being installed through the remote console installation).
