Given that this is only supposed to work on Windows 10 (latest) I'm rather
surprised that you got it to download on 8.1 at all.
And yes, Lubomir also is running into BLE issues with his OSTC, even on
Windows 10.

So to me this is actually fairly good news. It means that I bundled the
correct libraries and that it tries to download from BLE in the first
place.

I hope someone else is able to test on Windows 10 with one of the "easier"
dive computers (I guess Shearwater Teric/Pedix AI or Scubapro G2 - I'm not
sure if anyone has been able to even pair a Suunto EON Steel/Core with
Windows so far...)

Thanks for the report. I really appreciate it.
