No Devices in Windows 10 #74

I just installed qspectrumanalyzer on Windows 10 using Python 3.7.4-amd64-webinstall.exe and PothosSDR-2019.06.09-vc14-x64.exe. I used the bundled Zadig to install a driver for my RTL-SDR dongle. These were the latest support packages at time of writing.

The program ran but could not find any devices. Having read the issue notes about missing devices I tried uninstalled Pothos. It doesn't uninstall cleanly, leaving a mess of files in the \Program Files\PorthosSDR directory which claim to be in use. I restarted the PC and removed these files and the \Program Files\PothosSDR directory manually.

I then installed an old version of Pothos (PothosSDR-2017.03.12-vc14-x64), this one was current when Qspectrumanalyzer was placed on Github.

In Settings I placed the line driver=rtlsdr It worked straight away. I also got GQRX and CubicSDR running. Not sure what I'm missing using the old Pothus but at least I got this app working.
