NOTE: Even after uninstall, depending on the Windows version used, it is possible
that the system may require a reboot to update its configuration.

8.3.3. Windows Driver Panel

Together with the

YOUNG MKIII

driver a comprehensive management panel is installed,

which runs in background and allows user to optimize the driver operation and update the

YOUNG MKIII

firmware.

The panel can be restored in the foreground by clicking on the “M2” icon present in the
right part of the Windows bar or in the peripherals window, depending on the operating
system version installed on your computer.

When the

YOUNG MKIII

or any other M2Tech device is not connected to the computer, the

window shown in Fig. 27 will appear.

Conversely, when the

YOUNG MKIII

is connected, then the panel will show some general

information about the driver and will exhibit a tree menu as shown in Fig. 28.
