Solution
- Make sure you have a compatible driver installed by checking the following compatibility documents.
- If you do not know what NI Driver is needed for your hardware, first search for and read the getting started manual for your hardware (e.g USB-6001, cRIO-9072, cDAQ-9189).
- To determine what drivers/software you have installed, see Determine the Version of the NI Software Installed on My Computer.
- Search for your driver on NI Driver Downloads if you need to install a compatible version.
- Disable Fast Startup. The Fast Startup feature can be found following the Control Panel navigation paths below based on your OS version.
- Windows 10: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options.
Select Choose what the power buttons do. Scroll down to Shutdown settings and uncheck Turn on fast startup.
- Windows 8 or 8.1: Enter Power Options in search.
Select Choose what the power buttons do. Scroll down to Shutdown settings and uncheck Turn on fast startup.
- Disable Fast Startup Group Policy. This policy enables Fast Startup regardless of the local setting.
- Enter Edit group policy in search.
- Navigate to Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> System >> Shutdown
- Right-click on Require use of fast startup and click Edit.
- Set to Disabled or Not Configured.
If you are unable to disable this group policy, contact your administrator.
- If you choose to keep Fast Startup, explicitly perform a restart so your system can detect the changes. The Windows Restart operation bypasses Fast Startup, which is different than shutting down and booting up with the Fast Startup feature enabled.
- Uninstall Endpoint Security and install a different VPN client.
