    Unable to install driver for virtual com ports. The installer says that the installation was successful but the comports do not appear in the Device Manager list. The specific software is SiliconLabs Dual CP210XUSB to UART Bridge Enhanced COM PORT.


    The SiliconLabs links were no help.

  2. Unable to locate virtual com ports in Windows 10 Device Manager

    I used to be able to look up the virtual com port to which an antenna/radio plugged into a USB port was assigned. Now I am unable to find any Ports (COM or LTE) listed in Device Manager. I tried all the views available from the drop-down menu and I tried
    the "hidden devices" option. I'm having the same experience on a Gateway Desktop and an HP laptop. Was there an update that did this? Is there a way around it? I need to be able to look this information up and enter into a Drone Program I use, MIssion Planner.

    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.

    Click next/OK as required to complete installation. Repeat the steps for all Intel USB devices. Finally click on each USB root device and press DEL to delete it, reply YES when asked. After deleting all USB root devices restart the computer.

    I hope this is detailed enough...
