MyDrive disconnect during update
So... another bug with the device ?
I connect using the USB cable the device to my Surface PRO (and yes I did the fix for the USB going into sleep mode issue). I launch the update, it loads a couple of % of update to the device then stops claiming that the device is disconnected... when it is still visible in windows (USB devices) and the system has not done the disconnect typical sound...
I then disconnect it, it *dings* then I re-connect, it *dings* (windows sounds) and it re-starts the update for another couple of % ...
This is unbelievable !

Your Wi-Fi... How Reliable/Fast/Slow is the Signal Strength Good/Bad ???
I have Virgin Media Broadband Fibre Optic 110Mb/s connection....
My GO 6200 shows Wi-Fi connection... 72Mb/s
I chose the 110Mb/s hard-wired connection
I Installed the 9.13GB Full Europe Map over USB with MDC running in the background
The Map installed and device ready to use... 20 Minutes 15 seconds (Stopwatch)
_____________________________
The NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices like you’re GO 620 normally update using Wi-Fi...

To check your Connection Speed, Signal Strength & Quality
On the Device... Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Settings --> Wi-Fi
Tap on the Your Wi-fi name (The one Showing as connected)
A new Menu Page opens

I always update my devices one Update at a time
The NavCore Application and QuickFixGPS updates are force ticked by Tomtom... Deselect any other updates like Maps, Speed Cams etc... Update the mandatory item/s first, when complete update the remaining items one at a time
Note... NAV(5 Wifi) devices connected over Wifi do not require MyDrive Connect to be running Even if myDrive is running you have no access the MyDrive Connect menu structures as used by the previous NAV3 & 4 devices
Option... (2) Connected USB
If Wi-Fi is not available or is slow/unstable/unreliable.....

Updating your new NAV5 (Wi-Fi) device over USB will require "MyDrive Connect"
Get it here.....
www.tomtom.com/getstarted
Run MyDrive Connect.....
Note... The NAV(5 Wifi) devices have no access the MyDrive Menu structures as used by the previous NAV3 & 4 devices
Connect your Device to a USB Port on your PC

__________________________
Note... MyDrive Connect will only show a "Splash screen" saying "Connect your device using Wifi" etc
If required you can close the 'Main Mydrive Window' showing the "Connect your device using Wifi" Splash screen... MyDrive Connect only needs to run in the background on the PC TaskBar

What Model Tomtom device are you trying to update ???
Re "Download/installation interrupted".....
The Computer Manufacturers appear to be setting "USB Selective Suspend" to ON as default
Especially Laptops, maybe to improve the appearance of the battery life
Are your USB ports set for power saving "USB Selective Suspend"
Win7 See... http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/147369-usb-selective-suspend-turn-off.html
Win10 See… https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/73187-turn-off-usb-selective-suspend-windows-10-a.html
Click on link and scroll down to "Turn Off USB Selective Suspend"
Also turn off any Screen savers any other Power savers or USB port monitoring software installed

Random Disconnects on Surface Pro 3 & 4
Do you have or have access to a 'Surface Dock', if so plug your device into a USB port on that. Others have found that to work
On the Win10 tablets, Microsoft has hidden the "USB Selective Suspend" menu
You will need to edit the Registry for the USB Selective Suspend menu to show

The Rider400 is connected to the PC, on both ends seen in a) the driver and b) on the screen of the Rider400 device. MyDrive connect als starts positive, connects to Internet and to the Rider400 device but stops downloading after some percent (1 or 2) and states that the internet connection has failed.
If the Rider400 device is physically disconnected and reconnected to the USB port, everything starts allover again, the Rider400 device is connected as stated in MyDrive connect, downloading the required files is started again and another percent or so is adde to the received batch. And then, disconnecting again. If you leave the system after this, the laptop keeps popping up a Mydrive connect screen: No internet connection. Which is really not true, since I am simultaniously working on this post online.
