(Please refer to the following Microsoft link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3150989 to find more information on the sequence for enabling IrDA networking on a Windows 10 PC.)
Notes:
• To enable IrDA networking, the PC must be updated to Windows 10, Version 1511.
• If the PC runs under an earlier version, please use Microsoft Windows Updates to download and install the latest Windows 10 updates.
• Microsoft's procedure has to be run under an Admin user profile.
According to Microsoft, the user has to "open an elevated Command Prompt window" first. To do so:
1. Click on Start menu.
2. From the menu, click on "Run." It is located on the upper right part of the menu screen.
3. A pop-up window will open. In the "Open" field, type cmd and click the "OK" button.
4. The "elevated Command Prompt window" opens.
5. From that point, you just have to follow the procedure.
