Topic:   MScomm32.ocx not working in Windows 10

Our application uses mscomm32.ocx for serial communication and we have been using this component for nearly 10 years. Recently we tested our application on the Windows 10 Pro Technical Previous version, and it appears that mscomm32.ocx is not working properly on this Windows. Don't ask us why, but we could not get any data from the mscomm object.
We did a test replacing mscomm32.ocx with scomm32.ocx and this control turned out to work correctly on Windows 10. So in case you experience problems with mscomm32 on Windows 10, I advise to check scomm32.

Good to hear that SComm32 is being kept up to date and works with latest version of Windows
