Rugged 12 (7202) GPS Issues with Extended I/O Module
Have a Latitude Rugged 12 (7202) Tablet with Windows 10 installed and updated as of this post. GPS works good without the Extended I/O Module (Manufacturer Part NGHD0 & Dell Part 590-TEXX; Link to it Here). When you attach the module, GPS signal drops to nothing, and it cant get a lock. Tested this for 2 days, no lock. Common sense says this module is blocking the GPS receiver. Is there a workaround to it without using an external GPS, or am I missing something here? Seems like an engineering oversight, or I am just that dumb. Has anyone else encountered this, and if so, what was your workaround aside from removing the module and/or attaching 3rd party GPS receiver? Problem is I need both the GPS and module up and running at the same time, and have no room to attach a USB or even Bluetooh GPS receiver. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Just installed the Realtek USB Gigabit drivers from Dell's website and seems to have help. It works now until I plug something USB into the extended IO. Not sure if anyone from Dell will have better knowledge of this issue. I do know my

I noticed that with the extended I/O connected, go to device manage, down to universal serial bus controllers, and disable the "generic superspeed usb hub" and the GPS starts working again.
