Hi,

there seems to be a bug with the flash loader GUI and win.8 / 8.1 and some MCU's bootloader.

i have a STM32F050 here and when i try to connect to the bootloader with the flash loder tool it goes to the ''remove protection'' screen after connecting. but when i uninstall and re install the flash loader demonstrator it workes on the first start.

same problem as here:

https://my.st.com/public/STe2ecommunities/mcu/Lists/STM32Discovery/Flat.aspx?RootFolder=%2Fpublic%2FSTe2ecommunities%2Fmcu%2FLists%2FSTM32Discovery%2FSTM32F3%20discovery%20board%20bootloader&FolderCTID=0x01200200770978C69A1141439FE559EB459D75800084C20D8867EAD444A5987D47BE638E0F&currentviews=225

with windosw XP it workes well everytime.. so i think there is just one config or registry entery changed after the first run. i searched for it but dont find it now :\

.. maybe someone knows where the flash loder saves it's config in windows8?

thanks..

edit: maybe also important.. with a stm32f103 it workes perfect on windows 8

regards

Felix

i found a fix. using the windows xp compatibility mode makes it work.
