David,

in Device Manager, under USB controllers, they show as USB Serial Converter (with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside it), and have the correct driver loaded, but somehow they are not working, not findable in the K3 Utility, and so I am at a loss what to do /change / fix next...

Have you gone to properties in USB Serial Converter and checked the VCP box?   A similar thing happened to me when I upgraded to 1903 a couple of days ago.

I would first reboot the computer a couple of times.  Then go to the Windows Update application and run it.  Take all the defaults and let it "do its thing".    A failed update will leave lots of fragments and crap in the computer.

Also I suggest, as I do, run an application that gets rid of trash, broken links, and such.  And that same application has the ability to clean the computer Registry.  Usually there is lots of "crap" left over from updates, software installs, and software uninstalls.   My application is the paid  version but you can use the FREE version of CCLEANER for this activity.

early this morning, Windows tried to install (but failed) 2019-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4507435).

As a result, I have lost my virtual com ports...

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
