Windows 10: USB devices not listed under Ports (COM & LPT) in Device Managerr

My USB devices are only listed under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers/Devices" And the COM port is not assigned to the USB device. I would like to see the devices listed under "Ports (COM & LPT)" Such that a software I use would recognize the COM port under the which the USB device is connected to, such as STM32 STLink. How can I do this please?

:)

You can't. They are completely different communication buses. It's like saying "I want my monitor(s) to show up under Network adapters.". That's not how device enumeration works.

Even if you use USB-to-Serial (or Parallel or COM) adapters, they are still enumerated by the USB sub-system first before any 'virtual device' trickery does its data re-directs.

 

PORTS (COM & LPT) is not displayed in Windows 10

Hi

PORTS (COM & LPT) is not appearing in my Device Manager in Windows 10. I followed these steps:

1. Connect the USB.
2. Open Device Manager.
3. Click on Action.
4. Select Add legacy hardware.
5. Click on Next.
6. Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced),
   then click Next.
7. Scroll down, then select Ports (COM & LPT), and then click
   Next.
8. Select Manufacturer as your need, (in this case, select the standard type or default option), and then click
   Next.
9. Click Finish.

The problem is what manufacturer AND MODEL should I select? I tried some models but I get an error.

Thank you.
