Need some recommendations from fellow Network Engineers who have already dealt with this. Our org recently updated to Windows 11 and it killed our ability to use our USB to Serial adapters because of Windows core isolation/memory integrity settings. Our domain admins have given up trying to disable memory integrity for us so now it's on me to figure out a viable alternative for our console connections, and I really don't feel like rolling the dice on random purchases.

Anyone have a recommendation for a USB-to-Serial adapter that will work when Windows 11 Core Isolation security settings are all turned on? It really needs to be a legit serial connection on the adapter too because most of our network infrastructure doesn't have native USB console ports and also we are doing Serial over Ethernet in a few places and those require native serial on both sides.

Thanks in advance :)

Does anyone know of a good brand for USB to serial adapters that work with Windows 11? Most of the ones I have you have to jump thru hoops everytime you plug them in to install an older driver to make the work. They are using the old prolific chipset that is not supported in Windows 11. I did not know if any one else had run into this problem. Some devices have to be setup by the serial port so I was just trying to find an adapter that I did not have to do that with.

I am setting up PyMakr 2 in VS Code on Windows 11 to work with a Esp32 dev board

I installed this USB to Serial driver : https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers?tab=downloads

But I have trouble connecting - is busy.

I recently got the new MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip and installed the Windows 11 ARM on the latest parallels. I can use every hardware of my Mac and everything i plug into the laptop except for the USB Serial adapter. I tried different adapters with different chips like Prolific and FTDI, and none seem to work.

I don't think is a cable adapter issue, is more something of the OS. It doesn't event let me install the driver manually or doesn't seem to try to install it. Once plugged it, quickly shows the USB Serial Converter with exclamation point.

Anyone have the same issue?Here is how my Device Manage looks:

This is probably a really simple question, but it's been giving me fits since Windows 11 was first introduced. None of the various USB->Serial adapters I've bought over the years are supported by Windows 11. The driver literally as a description of "THIS DEVICE IS NOT SUPPORTED BY WINDOWS 11". I had an older laptop sitting on top of my rack that I thought was immune from Windows 11, but apparently at some point in the last few months it caught the infection and now I have no more precious portable Windows 10-powered console access. Can anyone recommend a specific product that is supported by Windows 11 that will let me get into my Sonicwalls (with one DB9->RJ45 cable) and Dell switches & storage (which requires a completely different pinout DB9->RJ45 cable, damnit) without making me chase all around the goddamned internet for a third party unsupported undocumented driver that may or may not make my computer eat itself?

Hey yall. New to the automation world. I've got a SLC5 that I'm trying to go online with using an rs232 adapter. I'm missing the driver. The adapter is old as hell so I cant tell the brand. Do I need to download the driver straight from the manufacturer's website? Or is there a general driver i could download.

Ive done this before using different adapters, but I knew the manufacturer in those cases

Thanks

Does anyone has driver for it?on windows 11

Waiting for my copy of Windows Pro 11 to show up, wondering is there is a way to get the serial from my account somehow so I can activate it now and not stare at the "Activate Windows" annoying watermark for the next 3 days, nor be able to use hyper v etc?

Recently installed Windows 11 on one of my laptops and my programming cable stopped working after a security update (which was odd because it worked fine with Win11 for a while at first).

Device manager said the Prolific 2303 (2303TA in my case) wasn't supported by Windows 11 at all, but I found a workaround:

• Download and install the appropriate driver package from https://oemdrivers.com/usb-prolific-usb-to-serial-driver

• After installing, go to the Device Manager and find the device listed under Ports (COM & LPT).

• Right click on the Prolific item in the list and click on Properties.

• Click on Update Driver.

• Click on Browse my computer for drivers.

• Click on Let me pick from a list of available drivers.

• You should see a list with several Prolific driver options. I chose driver version 3.8.25.0 (7/12/2018) and the cable resumed working as expected.

Hopefully the helps someone else in the future!
