Dave, A couple of quick thoughts:
1. Have you rebooted a couple of times? Despite what Microsoft may claim about reboots being (un)necessary, you should always reboot a couple of times after an update/upgrade. 2. Have you unplugged/plugged all your physical USB cables? That accomplishes a couple of things - lets Windows redetect your devices, lets drivers get reinstalled (if necessary). 3. If #2 doesn't work, try reinstalling drivers for both your physical devices and your virtual COM ports. Windows has a nasty habit of ignoring vendor-supplied drivers for its own drivers, which often don't work as well as the vendor's. Hope this helps. 73 de, Ian, NV4C On Sat, Jul 20, 2019, 10:28 AM David F.
