Kess V2 Install Windows 10 — Comprehensive Guide

Step 3: The Software Installation

1. Disable Windows Defender Real-time protection (Temporarily).
2. Navigate to your Kess V2 folder. Find KSuite.msi or Setup.exe.
3. Right-click → Properties → Compatibility.
   • Check: Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 7.
   • Check: Run as Administrator.
4. Run the installer. Install to C:\Kess_V2 (Avoid Program Files due to permission issues).

How to disable temporarily (recommended):

1. Hold Shift and click Restart.
2. Go to Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup Settings → Restart.
3. After restart, press 7 or F7 for “Disable driver signature enforcement”.
4. Windows will boot. You must redo this after every reboot.

Alternatively, permanently disable test mode (less secure): Run bcdedit /set testsigning on as admin, reboot. The watermark “Test Mode” appears on desktop.

Step 4: Connect Kess V2 & Let Windows Recognize It

1. Connect the Kess V2 to your PC via Micro-USB.
2. Also connect 12V power (if your unit requires it – many clones draw power from USB, but that’s unstable).
3. Windows will detect “STM32 Virtual COM Port” or “USB Serial Device”.
4. Open Device Manager (Win+X → M).
5. Look under Ports (COM & LPT) – you should see STM32 Virtual COM Port (COMx).
6. If you see a yellow exclamation mark → right-click → Update driver → Browse → Let me pick → Choose “USB Serial Device” or “FTDI” from list.

✅ Success indicator: No yellow triangle. COM port number is between 1–16 (higher can cause software issues). Kess V2 Install Windows 10
