I tried the older driver available here:http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=223&pcid=126And this seemed to work for Windows 11. Weird that an old driver works better than the latest one.I have the PL-2303 TA chipset. Answer from ejohanson on techcommunity.microsoft.com

The cable have a PL2303 chip the driver considers counterfeit. The chip could be genuine though, just old - an older revision of PL2303 was cloned by a third party and Prolific have began their uphill battle with clones (and, AFAIK, their own older products). An older, circa 2008, driver will help - from my first-hand experience, it works without any problems, but once Windows had a newer driver, it will use the newer driver by default after each reboot (but keep the driver you've selected when the cable is replugged to the same port until rebooted). The problem is quite common, so a search for "pl2303 old driver" will get you there. 3.3.2.105 is a "known good" version of the driver. But if you've just bought the cable and still within the return timeframe, just return it - it's not your fight. More on reddit.com

r/Baofeng on Reddit: Windows 11 & Prolific USB Drivers
October 13, 2021 -
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!

This is what helped me in my case There is a working driver at http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=225&pcid=41 , a bit down the page listed as "DCHU (for PC Vendors)". Getting it installed is a bit tricky, it seems. What I did is this: First 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. It will add the two driver packages to the driver store and tell you what oemXY.inf files it has assigned to them. Then "pnputil /enum-drivers", and in the output look for Prolific drivers other than the ones from the previous step. I had only one other entry, a "ser2pl.inf" version "09/16/2021 3.8.40.0". Disconnect the device, and "pnputil /delete-driver oemXY.inf" with the INF file you located in the previous step. Connect the device again, and it should work, at least, it does for me. The problem is probably that the non-working driver is the newest (September 2021 vs. July for the ones from the download page) and so Windows prefers it over them.

I have wasted enough time on this subject I will share my final answer regarding "Please install corresponding PL2303 driver to support Windows 11 and further OS"
Device Manager -> Ports COM
Right-click "Please install corresponding PL2303 driver to support Windows 11 and further OS"
Update Driver -> Browse my Computer for drivers
Let me pick from a list...
You probably have old Drivers installed from ages gone by. If not go get PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1_12_0.zip
Once you have the legacy drivers, simply chose an older one.
It appears that if you "force" Windose 11 to use a specific Driver it doesn't keep throwing it away.
This solution Survived a Reboot and a Windows Update.
