[QUOTE="Silversnapper, post: 829710, member: 52909"] After thirteen days I am still no nearer having a solution to this issue, but I have found a temporary solution - let me explain: I do a lot of close-up and focus-stacking macro work but even after having had bi-lateral cataract surgery in the last twenty years my eyesight (and shaky hands) are just not good enough for manual focussing at such short distances - even using the camera live view with it's larger screen. To get round this, I have been tethering my camera to a PC or laptop using software to operate the camera and using live view on the bigger screens for focussing. I have been doing this since 2007 using <ahem> a different brand of camera. Since I have acquired Nikon kit I obviously wanted to carry on using this methodology. As noted at the outset of this post, I have been using the D810 tethered to my Windows 11 laptop with no problems, it was only when I decided to use my Dell Windows 11 desktop PC that this issue arose. Now, to the workaround: I tether the camera to the laptop and then use a Remote Desktop connection from my desktop PC to the laptop and eureka! I get to operate the camera from my desktop and view the results on my lovely big 27in PC screen. a bit of a PITB but at least it gets me working. I will allow some more time for Dell/Microsoft to get this problem resolved then, if it isn't fixed, I will pass this computer on to a family member and invest in a new one. [/QUOTE]
