Pull down the scrollbar on the bottom, left side and select COM 1, 2, 3 or 4 (NOTE: Choose one that does not say "in use" next to it).Right click on the "Prolific USB to Serial Port" and click on Properties.How do I change the COM port on my USB to Serial adapter?
If the adapter is installed on COM5, a device with such a limitation will not work until the COM port is reassigned to COM1 - COM4. would not work with a USB to Serial adapter when everything appears to have installed fine is that some devices will only scan a limited number of COM ports.įor instance, it is very common for a PDA to have a limitation of scanning the first four (or sometimes two) COM ports. The most common reason that a device such as a PDA, GPS, cell phone, etc. Troubleshooting The driver is installed properly, but the device is not working:
If the device is installed properly, you will see "Prolific USB to Serial Com Port.". Click on the plus sign (+) next to "Ports.". Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager. Driver can auto-download via Windows Update (Windows 7, 8, 8. Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 Certified WHQL Driver Compatible with Windows 2000SP4 & Server2003 Installer version & Build date: 1.12.0 () (For PL2303 HXA, XA, HXD, EA, RA, SA, TA, TB versions) This is the Prolific website read on the driver I installed:ĭownload File: PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.12.0.zip July for the ones from the download page) and so Windows prefers it over them. The problem is probably that the non-working driver is the newest (September 2021 vs. I had only one other entry, a "ser2pl.inf" version " 3.8.40.0".ĭisconnect the device, and "pnputil /delete-driver oemXY.inf" with the INF file you located in the previous step.Ĭonnect the device again, and it should work, at least, it does for me. Then "pnputil /enum-drivers", and in the output look for Prolific drivers other than the ones from the previous step. It will add the two driver packages to the driver store and tell you what oemXY.inf files it has assigned to them. What I did is this:įirst install the downloaded driver by unpacking the zip file and "pnputil /add-driver *.inf /subdirs /install" (the /install is probably not necessary) from the extracted "Win11_DCHU" directory. 
Getting it installed is a bit tricky, it seems. There is a working driver at, a bit down the page listed as "DCHU (for PC Vendors)".
