I have seen several issues with Windows programs not releasing (or perhaps not

re-boot. I'm fighting windoze Hypertrm right now over this issue trying to
read from a freq counter for some ADEV measurements. Once HYPERTRM runs, no
other program can access the serial port.
Lady Heather seems to work fine with Wine, but I have not tried it after
running HYPERTRM.

One trick with Windows is to disable and then renable the serial port,
in particular, USB ports sometimes get stuck, and this fixes them.
There's also some power management things with USB connected ports that
can get things confused. (You don't want USB selective suspend enabled)
there's a command line tools that can do this, or you can use Device
Manager.
