After improving to Windows 10 from 8.1 on my Surface area Pro 3 the Prolific RS232-USB driver is certainly not useful as it was under Home windows 8.1. The device manager reports for this gadget:
Prolific USB to Serial Driver. There is also an explanation here ( USB to RS232 Driver) which also uses a Prolific USB driver. If the Prolific USB to serial drivers below do not work then see the USB ro RS232 driver for more information as it uses more than one option. There is also an installation diagram ( FT232R USB UART Driver). How to install the 64-bit driver: Make sure the Aten USB to Serial converter is NOT connected to the computer. Download the file: UC232AWindowsSetupV1.0.081.exe; Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. The driver will now be installed. After the installation has completed, connect the USB to Serial converter to a USB port on your computer.
'This device is not working correctly because Windows cannot fill the motorists needed for this device. (Code 31)
Object Name already exists.'
I implemented all on-line information for Code 31 and to no avail deleted the current driver and ré-install, re-bóot, and search for fresh hardware it will not repair the issue. I discover ideas of the drivér in the Régistry but removing mention of the Prolific gadget may become difficult since it seems there are other products I use regularly where getting rid of the entrance in the Registry may trigger other problems.
As a further remark that is certainly food for idea by Microsoft can be that I discover the lack of registry maintenance tool as obtainable in Windows 7 is definitely not really a good move by the Technical Personnel of Microsoft. You will by no means get complete traction with Home windows 10 unless the equipment are in place for users to fix problems caused by Windows 10 install to be fixed very easily.
