Failed to initialize board error
I am able to manually pair the cyton and dongle by choosing the corresponding COM port and then doing auto-scan however, I can't start the session. I get the "failed to initialize board" error. Is there a way to fix this or what might the problem be ?

Hi Doadoan,
The AUTOSCAN feature normally is not needed, which is why it is listed in the optional settings section 5,

When was this Cyton purchased? Has it EVER worked correctly? Have you tried on another laptop to eliminate issues with the OS and usb hardware?
The COM port can be found in your Device Manager and will appear / disappear as the dongle is plugged / unplugged. Refer to the Getting Started section.
