These instructions are for Windows 11 but are similar to previous versions of Windows.
1.) Shut down SmartSDR and the FLEX-8000/6000.
2.) In the Windows Control panel, go to "Programs and Features" or from Windows Search, enter "Add or Remove Programs" window, and look for the "FlexRadio Systems FlexVSP" driver.
Highlight the FlexRadio Systems FlexVSP driver entry by clicking on it and select the option to uninstall it.
3.) Open the Windows File Explorer, go to C:\Program Files\FlexRadio Systems\FlexVSP folder
If there is a program called VSPCLEANER located in the folder, run it with administrative rights by right-clicking on the file name to show the file context menu and then selecting the option to Run as Administrator.
A window will appear momentarily and then close.
