Re: Trezor not found with Electrum 2.7.11 on Win 10

I am having an issue with Electrum detecting my Trezor. I select to create a new wallet, select hardware wallet
I do not know if it is passphrase related, but I did setup one passphrase.

I am running WIN10. I have the Chrome extension and bridge installed. (Is one preferred to be active?)
Overall I have been very happy with Electrum. I have been using it for a few months.
I have one item I consider to be serious. I believe if a software update / upgrade is released which corrects a serious flaw a message should be displayed notifying the user there is a potential security risk and the user should pay attention.

Obviously if I am unable to have my trezor working with Electrum I will be disappointed but I would still be pleased with Electrum... at least from my short end user viewpoint.

Anyway, as I am unsure how Electrum may handle single or multiple wallets protected with a passphrase I still have some looking around to do.

I recall seeing something mentioned in the Trezor Docs regarding enter the passphrase then dis & re connect the trezor to enter another passphrase for as many "wallets" you wish to have.

I have not yet sent coin to the Trezor, so again, I have a few avenues to investigate.

I welcome any comments and do appreciate your time.

sloopy is Trezor working with myTrezor.com? With the new firmware update Win10 sometimes does not recognize the trezor and you have to follow these steps:

    Press Win + X to open command line
    Type: devmgmt.msc and hit Enter
    Device manager window will appear
    Find “Other devices” and click on it with right button
    Choose “Update driver software”

Hope this helps.

What drivers do I use?
Auto isn't finding anything.

Thanks
