Windows 11 update - Missing COM ports

 

All FYI,
If you plug in your radio JOVE calibrator into a USB port and go to the calibrate menu in RSS and the list of COM ports is totally empty you need to find its COM port assignment. Unfortunately, Microsoft is trying to eliminate COM ports in its latest Widows Updates in favor of virtual COM ports which are more secure.? Below is a way to discover your COM port assignments for legacy devices.


To find hidden COM ports,?open Device Manager, go to the "View" menu, and select "Show hidden devices".?Then, expand the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section to see all COM ports, including hidden ones.?
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • Open Device Manager:
    You can access Device Manager by searching for it in the Windows search bar or by right-clicking the Start button and selecting "Device Manager".?
  • Show Hidden Devices:
    In the Device Manager window, go to the "View" menu and select "Show hidden devices".?
  • Locate Ports (COM & LPT):
    Scroll through the list of devices and locate the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section.?
  • Expand and View COM Ports:
    Expand the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section to see all COM ports, including any that were previously hidden.?
