Upgraded to Windows 10 ver 1903 and the infrared device is not working. Got this:

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

Dalvic do you still have the problem?

Try to remove and re-add the Infrared.  It is probably more reliable to use the PowerShell Commands (If you are not comfortable you can try the interface which may not work.

Power Shell to Add / remove IrDA infrared components

Run PowerShell as administrator

Query state of the IrDA components:

get-WindowsCapability -online -Name "Network.Irda~~~~0.0.1.0"

Unistall

Remove-WindowsCapability -online -Name "Network.Irda~~~~0.0.1.0"

Add

add-WindowsCapability -online -Name "Network.Irda~~~~0.0.1.0"

Query state of the IrDA components:

get-WindowsCapability -online -Name "Network.Irda~~~~0.0.1.0"

An example of the results (Thanks to FritzMerkel) of the scripts when fixing IrDA issue.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> get-WindowsCapability -online -Name "Network.Irda~~~~0.0.1.0"

Name         : Network.Irda~~~~0.0.1.0

State        : NotPresent

DisplayName  : IrDA infrared

Description  : Support for IrDA devices. Requires special IrDA hardware.

DownloadSize : 604101

InstallSize  : 1236233

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Then the others: 

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Remove-WindowsCapability -online -Name "Network.Irda~~~~0.0.1.0"

Path          :Online        : TrueRestartNeeded : False

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> add-WindowsCapability -online -Name "Network.Irda~~~~0.0.1.0">>

Path          :Online        : TrueRestartNeeded : False

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> get-WindowsCapability -online -Name "Network.Irda~~~~0.0.1.0"

Name         : Network.Irda~~~~0.0.1.0State        : InstalledDisplayName  : IrDA infraredDescription  : Support for IrDA devices. Requires special IrDA hardware.DownloadSize : 604101InstallSize  : 1236233

Alternative: on windows interface:

To remove:

Go to Settings -> Apps and Features -> Optional Features

Select IrDA Infrared and click uninstall.

To Install

Go to Settings -> Apps and Features -> Optional Features

Add a feature (top of list)

Select IrDA Infrared from the list.

It installs and should be visible in the Optional Features list.

Go back to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items and hopefully you will now see Infra Red icon and features.

If this does not work do use the PowerShell commands

    Not sure if this will be of value to you:

    Specifically post #18 for a conversion program.

    [Subsurface supports Scubapro and Uwatec computers, and one of the developers created a tool to convert Smartrak files to Subsurface xml. It's run as a webservice at https://thetheoreticaldiver.org/rch-cgi-bin/smtk2ssrf.pl]

    Worked for me to export Smarttrak to Subsurface.
