Canon R6 not connecting
I've had problems with my R6 tethering a few months ago. Capture One did an upgrade about a month ago and it started tethering perfectly. Since the last upgrade to 16.2.0.112 the R6 has stopped tethering again, however; the R5 tethers. I'm using Tether Tools USB-C standard cable (no extensions). Is there a solution for this?
I would also like to know if there's anyway to permanently set capture to "Capture One + Card"? I constantly have to be changing the settings every time I go to shoot. For me it's backup and not totally relying on Capture One filing system for my images after a shoot.
I'm new to Capture One and I'm finding that getting support is very inefficient compared to other technology companies and I have to spend time searching the internet for answers that's not really there. Capture One is great for ensuring you've made the shot, but I'm still holding on to Lightroom CC because the confidence in Capture One and there support is very poor for me.

I also have no luck connecting my Canon R6 to Capture One using USB on a Macbook. It works just fine using Canon EOS Utility, but Capture One does not see my camera. I have of course tried quitting the EOS Utility, and I have allowed Capture One Full Disk Access and Accessibility permissions as suggested somewhere in a Capture One guide. My camera just displays a battery status and a computer symbol on its display, when I try to connect.
I have only been using WiFi tethering until now, so I don't know if this is a new issue.
Can anyone suggest something else to try? I am doing a lot of tethered shooting for a project in the coming weeks, so I would very much like this to work, since for some reason it always takes 3 attempts to get my R6 to connect properly to my computer using WiFi.

USB is not what it used to be... Try different cables and different ports on the computer. I include a link to a kind of generic Microsoft article that may provide useful background info for investigating your system: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-usb-c-problems-in-windows-f4e0e529-74f5-cdae-3194-43743f30eed2#bkmk_usblimited_11

Thanks for the suggestion, OddS. The thing is that it is working with the exact same cable in the same port using EOS Utility, literally just moments before and after. I'll try again, but I have a feeling that either I am missing some required "something", or USB tethering with the R6 is broken in the current C1 build. My guess would be the first, but I haven't yet found the issue. And based on the original post in this thread, it might be a regression in C1.

I finally got USB tethering to work. Turns out, I just have to remove the SD cards from the camera. Still a bit weird, since the EOS Utility does not have this requirement.
AyinPhoto, have you tried removing the SD card(s)?
