Windows 10: PORTS NOT VISIBLE

Hi!I faced this problem while trying to connect my Arduino UNO.In Device Manager, my COM ports are not visible. I tried to show hidden devices, but it is still not there. After that, I tried to follow the step to choose "Add a legacy hardware" under Action, but the only option available is 'Help'. This is a bit urgent...

:)

 

PORT not visible in device manager

i don't see the option port in device manager

i tried various method to make it visible that were available on internet but non of them is working for me

i tried following methods

1--i turned on show hidden devices on from view menu

2--i updated all my drivers

3--i tried to add port manually from action>add legacy hardware>install the hardware i manually select from list>ports(com&lpt)>standard port type>communication pot>install

in third method when i again run add legacy hardware it shows that the hardware is no longer present

previously i am sure that the port option was visible

but don,t know actually how it disappeared

Port is being blocked

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.

• Are you aware of any changes that happened on the computer prior to this issue?
  

Upon researching, this seems like an issue due to the port scan. You may want to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Login to your Netgear
  NX6200 Extender GUI.
  
• Click on Advanced tab and choose
  WAN Setup.
  
• Check the box for Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection.
  
• Allow it to update and check if the port is still being blocked.
  

However, if the issue persists, I suggest you to post your query in the
TechNet Forums, where we have support professionals
