EOS R EOS Utility WiFi bug

Hi,

I cannot connect or pair to EOS Utility (updated to latest version) via EOS R WiFi. I follow all the steps, connect to Cannon eos R WiFi but when I open EOS Utility and press 'Pairing over Wi-Fi/LAN' there is nothing to select. When I connect vie USB I got popup message- Camera model not recognized. But I can launch EOS Utility 3 manually and download photos. Before everything worked fine vie WiFi, then I updated EOS Utility and now it is not working. I have reset cameras pairing info but it does not help. EOS R firmware updated to latest. What could be the problem? I have spent countless hours trying to pair camera to PC..

Please ensure none of the Canon application is running in the back ground, go in to your Windows Task Manager (press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, then click on More Details) and End Task on any Canon application including Canon EOS Utility & Canon DPP, now right click on the Windows Flag icon on the bottom left on your PC, click on RUN, then type ‘%localappdata%’ is in the dialogue box, on the new window, please click on Canon_Inc_IC folder and delete all the folders inside of that folder.

1. Type %localappdata% into the ‘RUN’ box then.  This will open file explorer at the local folder, C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local.
2. Open the sub folder "CANON_INC".
3. Delete all the folders inside “CANON_INC”.

Once the above is performed, please restart your PC and try installing Canon EOS Utility from Canon support website.

Thanks - that helped fix my Canon R7 connecting to my Laptop.  I couldn't find the Canon_Inc_IC folder but deleted the contents of CANON_INC.  I didn't have to reinstalled EOS Utility 3, it just worked after re-starting the program.  I was having trouble getting Canon Utility 3 to properly connect to my R7 both with USB-C and WiFi.  I've not re-tested the USB-C but the Wifi certainly started working again after this.
