I downloaded and installed the latest drivers for my cable, Windows 10 is recognizing it. But now I get an "error reading data. Not the amount of data we want." I have looked for trouble shooting but all I can find is the updating the driver or an issue with the cable which isn't my issue. I have tried multiple times.
