OK, there are a few possibilities here. Based on what you wrote, I think
the two most likely are:
1 - Your computer updated overnight (windows does this from time to time),
and something became incompatible. But ver. 0.5.3 is very recent, so that
shouldn't be an issue.
2 - Your nanovna had a failure. Please share with us which specific
NanoNVA you have. I am worried when you say it shows a pastel blue screen
when you plug it into the USB port - the nanovna's I am acquainted with
should not do that - the nano screen stays with a normal operational
display when plugged in.

Hi VNA-savers,
Im in the process of trying to save my sanity and, if I appear to be a tad
pissed, I beg your forgiveness.
Yesterday, I had zero problems, with NANOVNA-Saver. Worked perfectly. The
program even found a port I had never seen before - hidden or otherwise -
Com Port 8.
Just now, the sftwr wont even recognize the VNA, yet when I unplug the USB
connector, Device Mgr notices the hardware change.
I have tried combinations & permutations of opening & closing the sftwr,
disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable, with zero luck and I aint
joyed.
DM lists Ports 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 but no Port 8, hidden and in plain sight,
for all the world to see. The VNA screen goes to a beautiful, pastel blue,
when connected via USB cable, without a connection.
I have the USB cable, from the VNA directly into the motherboard.
I have version 0.5.3 and was notified, today, there is an update. I can
find no ver 0.5.4, which must remain another issue. The program also loves
to close, with unknown keystrokes, to me. Please note: not crash, just
close.
