Prolific PL2303 driver
Either buy a real Prolific or an FTDI programming cable. The Chinese knock-off Prolific 2303 are specifically disabled in Prolific drivers. An FTDI cable is fairly inexpensive and doesn't have these driver problems. Search Ebay, Aliexpress, Amazon, etc. Just make sure it says FTDI. 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!
