Thanks for the replies so far.
Indeed I also never need to connect to Wifi. The issue with the database makes sense, that would explain why it all of a sudden wants to connect to wifi or Kobo desktop. However with your suggestions I'm still not able to proceed:
- I used USBdeview and removed the occurences of the Aura
- I have done a fresh install of Kobo desktop, and it now offers to reconfigure
- I have done a reset with the pin on the device, it restarts and wants to be configured
- I connect it, start Kobo desktop, tell the device I want to not use wifi and the screen tells me to DL Desktop and connect, however no reaction and I do not see the device in Windows

Is there anything I need to change ( in sequence for instance) or is there another way to get the Aura and the PC talking again?
