Hi!

No success so far. I started another thread of this problem also on MSDN forum. A bit more help there that it might be a driver signature related problem because it has been changed in Windows 10, but I'm not sure. 

More info:

I have the exact same problem with this adapter. Have you found any solution for this? Or anyone knows a working IrDA adapter on Windows 10? 

I've been thinking the same; if I need to replace my perfectly serviceable Polar watch I might as well switch for a better product. The Garmin Fenix 3 is very, very nice watch - and I the external GPS on Polar does seem to struggle with maintaining an accurate GPS signal here in Switzerland. 

Still ALL the brands have limited Windows Mobile support; and by limited I mean none, zero, nada) - good job I've kept my iPhone 5 as my Nokia 930 windows mobile has limited application development in the "sports market".  I've contacted Garmin, Suunto, and Polar and they don't appear to have anything on the roadmap...so much for seamless integration.

 - yes I know this isn't the forum to whine about the lack of decent apps* on the WM8; but it is hard not to.

* don't get me started on OneNote being better on the iPhone

Polar's statement is here (and is just like you've described):

Thanks for link re Polar [lack of] support.  Will not be buying a new Polar...TBH for the last few years they've seemed to lag behind other manufacturers anyway.  Maybe they are unable to recruit engineers that can fix the problem, because if they employed the engineers that can, maybe it would have been fixed? 

The early versions with ProTrainer 5 suffered with problems that required hacks (registry/manual folder changes to fix).. So maybe they just aren't as good overall?

Polar, we loved you once, but now, like a pair of trainers bought in the high street it is time try out a new pair from a specialist shop...someone that y'know, cares...
