When I upgraded from Win 10, to Win 11, I faced similar problems. Win 11 doesn’t like things that are not native to it, such as ‘virtual serial ports’. However, I couldn’t find fault in Windows Device Manager. I was completely baffled after three days of perseverance. The only ...
Saw that there was a Windows Update for .NET3.5, so downloaded and installed that. In the process, Windows Update re-installed the old PL2303 driver back to version 3.8.40.0, 9/16/2021. I had to manually reinstall the latest Windows 11 driver from Prolific (3.9.1.0). And no, ASCOM w...

Win10 is not natively supporting serial/RS232 so even with the most most recent FTDI drivers, it's looking like the NR option is going to be dead. I also confirmed that the kluge of <NexStar+ HC, RJ-11 to DB-9 cable, Keyspan USB to COM, USB cable> works using NexRemote but I ...
