Using a DIY build PC. Intel i9-9900k. ORNYMG is install on G:\. At PC boot, the Raildriver display is "RD". After starting NYMG Raildriver still shows "RD". As soon as I open the 'calibration' tab the Raildriver led display goes blank, ie it is unlit. The calibration appears to work, that is there are no errors displayed by the calibration routine. The Raildriver display remains unlit, and stays unlit even after closing the calibration window. Exiting NYMG, the Raildriver led display stays unlit. If I unplug and then replug in Raildriver back into the USB port the Raildriver led display returns the "RD" display.

Is there a setting somewhere that has to be enabled for ORNYMG and Windows 10 to enable the USB port to stay on ? Or something else I'm forgetting to do?

Edit: The verify option reports no errors.
Edit: Starting single player, after pressing the " ' " key, Raildriver does show "---" but nonthing happens when using the Raildriver. The keybord does work.

Can't help with your problem I'm afraid but I've been using RailDriver with windows10 and now Windows11 and can state that there's no need to alter any setting afaik. I just plugged in and then configured using the RailDriver tab under options.

Thanks to all who gave me issue some thought. And yes, I did activate RD when the computer gave me a chance. For anyone remotely interested, I tested both Raildrivers on a second computer, and both worked perfectly. I have tried a safe boot thinking it may be a driver conflict, but no resolution there. Tried the front and back ports also to eliminate the fron panel wiring. Boils down to maybe a motherboard issue as the usb controller is on it? The keyboard and mouse work fine as do any flash drives. The usb ports and Raildriver don't get along.
