Windows 10 and com ports

Recommended Posts

So ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, I hadn't used my cutter.  Now when I try, no cutting software finds my cutter.   Signcut tries to connect to COM 3 which was where my cutter used to be, but won't give me other options.  if I use my 4 usb ports, it starts at COM 5 and goes to com 8 in my devices but with errors.

 

Any idea how to fix this with windows 10?

Haven't played with 10 much yet, but in older windows you could go to your device manager window, ports, and right click on the port in question. Choose properties, port settings, Advanced, and from there you could change the port number. Not sure this will fix your problem but it can't hurt any.

Apparently, the USB to Serial adapter I have doesn't have drivers for Windows 10.    Guess I will have to get a new one or downgrade to Windows 7
