    Windows won't install Arduino drivers


    I have an Arduino Mega 2560 connected USB to a Windows 10 1607 14393-321 system.

    The bd works fine on my laptop printing via Repetier Host. It shows up as a USB-SERIAL CH340 - ver 1607 14393-222
    On my desktop it used to work with ver 8. I upgraded to 12 and now Windows won't install the driver. HOWEVER, Windows also updated since prior to my Arduino update and since the last time I used it.
    I tried rolling back to Arduino ver 9 - same
    I tried installing ver 8 driver, no dice
    I tried driver1_CH340 and driver2_CH340
    driver1 didn't work at all and driver2 came back with an error after it at least tried.
    Anyone got an answer??? Is it Arduino or Windows???
    How do I roll back windows to 222?? It looks like KB3194798 is the update to uninstall.
    thx


    :)

  2. How do I open extra COM ports?

    Since this is an Arduino rather than a Windows problem, you need to follow the
    Arduino installation instructions. In particular you must right-click the Arduino .inf file, then left-click "Install".
    Its first few lines look like so:

    ; Copyright 2012 Blacklabel Development, Inc.

    [Strings]

    DriverPackageDisplayName="Arduino USB Driver"

    ManufacturerName="Arduino LLC (www.arduino.cc)"

    ServiceName="USB RS-232 Emulation Driver"

    If you still have a problem, ask Google or check out the Arduino help pages.
