Aint that the truth! We've all experienced it. Get the system to a functional and stable state then disable all automatic software updates, especially those from the good people at microsoft. Then meticulously read the release notes of the software to evaluate whether to manually upgrade or not. Bisque are notorious for ballsing up their daily build when it comes to ASCOM compatibility. I'm sure in a parallel universe software works harmoniously. If you've got a working system, make an image of it so that you can easily restore if it all goes kaboom. I have two fitpc systems which are mirrored. Should one die, the other can simply be plugged in. Like most things, its all great when it works. You're on the right path. Try to get the equipment and software issues out the way for more routine data acquisition. This will allow you to focus on the challenging stuff like processing. You want getting the data to be the easy part and with good equipment, it can be.
