    Port Settings Tab is Missing Under Ports COM & LPT


    Hello. I am using Windows 10, Version 20H2. Previously had Version 1809 installed.We have proprietary software for a device we manufacture that requires the manual assignment of Com Ports from time to time in our laptops. In the 1809 version of Win10 we had the Port Settings tab available for use within Device Manager and I could make Port assignment changes without issue. Since upgrading to the 20H2 version, the Port Settings tab is no longer available. The tabs I have available now are GENERAL/DRIVER/DETAILS/EVENTS.How can I restore the Port Settings tab?Thank y

    :)

    Windows 10 & LPT Parallel Printer Port.

    Posts on some forums suggest that Microsoft has killed LPT (parallel port) support in Windows 10 whereas another post I saw indicates that Microsoft has fixed this problem due to pressure from businesses that still need parallel support. I am such a
    business. I must have LPT support for legacy software and an HP LaserJet 6P for the new computer I'm getting (which does have an LPT port). This is not optional since the old software will not work with USB and new printers. Can anyone definitively tell
    me whether LPT/Parallel ports are or are not currently usable in Windows 10 (64-bit)? Thanks for any help.
