Peter:
1. Open Control Panel and click on Hardware/Sound-->Device Mangler-->Ports
2. In the View menu, click on Show Hidden Devices
If there are any, they will appear in the Ports display but grayed out.
Delete them, close everything, reboot, and try again. Windows will
occasionally, and without notice, leave a previous device enumerated
even after it is removed. It shows up as unavailable, or in-use to a
real device.
May not be your problem, but an easy fix. Best to remove all USB cables
before the reboot, then insert them one at a time while watching the
Ports display

The issue is far deeper than this. None of the COM ports work normally after
starting the system. Occasionally the radio connects to the software
normally, other times it doesn't. If I have it working with N1MM, close down
N1MM and try to start Commander (DX Labs) it won't work initially, but if I
try it 3 or 4 times in a row it will connect normally.
Ditto with my two rotors. Those are the only serial ports in my system. The
K3s, my 6m rotor (Rotor-EZ board in the controller box) and a Green Heron
RT-20 (serial-to-USB, not pure USB like the newer RT-21). For whatever
reason, there is *something* holding all the installed/configured COM ports
open and unavailable. I cannot find that "something."
