Gil or anyone else knowledgable in this area, What you say makes sense unfortunately. I apparently don't have as many devices connected as you do as my com ports are now in the area of 14.
What I'm wondering though is when you plug in a device such as a small external disc, or maybe a braille display, etc., obviously windows sets up the driver for the device and assigns it a virtual com port. If you remove that device simply by unplugging it and maybe rebooting, it does not show up in the hardware anywhere that I can see. So my question to anyone who know is if that virtual com port is released when you unplug the device. In other words, could you get the com port down to a reasonable number if you unplugged several usb-related devices? I also have a couple of card readers which I use from time to time, so if the ports aren't released, something like that could drive the number up too.
