Hello to all,

I have bought a new laptop that run win 11. I have successfully installed the pickit3 programmer latest version but I kept having a message saying "No Pickit Devise Found" I tried the Tool "Check Communication", same thing.
I tested on my other laptop that have win10 and it works perfectly.
Is anyone has experience it and what is the solution to this problem. Shall I install the bulky MPlab to make it work?
Please help.

Cheers,

Yves

Unfortunately even the latest version of the PicKIt3 software from Microchip is now very old and outdated and will not allow the programming of newer devices with the PicKit3 programmer, I don't think installing the MPLAB IDE will improve that.
I suggest you take a look at obtaining a copy of PicKitPlus (Even Venn is a member here) or others here are using PicKitMinus which are more up to date and likely to work under Win11 as well as including support for programming more devices that you would have using the Microchip software.
I have not done any PIC work for a while but I use PicKItPlus and do not recall any ussie using it with Win11

Hello Yves,

if you are using MPLABX, you should know they stopped support for PICkit3 after version 6.20 - so install MPLAB X 6.20 or earlier.

I tried that but MPLAB give me a message below:

Do I need MPLAB?

Yes, but I did not understand what was the error message?

Checking with AI it means they block certain regions. I never had this problem with win10

First time I hear MC puts geographic limitations for MPLABX.
