Re: WINDOWS 11 Prolific Drivers
|
I have stopped using Prolific USB to Serial anything.
What happened was that they used to work great. Then someone cloned the Prolific chip. Sometime in the life of Windows XP Prolific released a new driver that was not compatible with the pirate chips. But as a user you did not know what was the real Prolific Chip and what was the bad Prolific chip when you bought it.? The solution was to install the old driver. But everytime Windows updated it also updated the prolific driver to the latest version, and you had to reinstall the old one. Same happened with Windows 10. Both the bad Prolific and good Prolific run on Linux, because Prolific did not write the driver for Linux. For me it is just easier to only use FTDI based USB to Serial adapters. That way I can switch between Linux and Windows without worrying. Kip AE5IB
I down?load the prolific drivers for the web.
I then installed them.
Now when a new prolific device is attached, it will either directly install or ask to search for the local device drivers and use the drivers I had loaded manually..
I have had trouble with Windows device driver management for prolific drivers.? It does seem to work for FTDI drivers.
