    I tried the older driver available here:

    And 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.

mushfiqrahman after rebuilding my system from the Beta I found the same issue.  What I had to do was completely remove the drivers from Device Manager.  Then download the older driver and run the installer on the system.  Then it picked up the new driver.  But this is my experience.  Looks like many have different solutions.

      mushfiqrahman that is 1 way to solve it. MS does need to get this figured out though. It is problematic for us Tech people. That or the driver maker needs to make one for Windows 11. Whichever it is it needs to happen. Overall though I am liking Windows 11.
