Usb Serial Port Driver Windows 10 64 Bit Free Download

Hi,

Of course, you can effort to manually update the driver at Prolific site:

Download drivers from Prolific site

But, look carefully on this page and yous will read an

of import observe in Blood-red
 :

Windows eight/8.i/ten are Non supported in PL-2303HXA and PL-2303X


EOL

(Terminate Of Life) chip versions.

This is clear:
if your device is using an old chip version of PL2303, the drivers not works with W10 (and W8).

Every bit many people, you probably upgrade directly from W7 to W10, and certain, don’t know that this problem was already present with W8. It’southward a shame from Prolific to not support this devices, considering they are still used (my LED badges are less than a year old, and use EOL PL-2303 HX). Prolific’s guys are fun when they said : “Prolific recommends to use




PL-2303HXD (HX Rev D) or PL2303TA



 chip.” .
Hey, but I can’t do that myself !!!

Later testing…
FOUND THE SOLUTION !

Indeed, when installing W10, the device driver for PL-2303 is the latest version. You tin can check it, using the configuration panel: sentinel the COM and LPT section, you should take the “Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm (COM X)”. Click on backdrop, and get the details:

the version commuter (ser2pl.sys or ser2pl64.sys) should be something like 3.6.78.350

– Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port Version: 3.iii.iii.114

– Prolific USB-to-Series Comm Port Version: 3.four.48.272

– Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port Version: 3.half dozen.78.350

You lot should select the quondam 3.3
(from 2009).

Later on version, like 3.four or 3.vi report fault lawmaking x.

I take tried with three.iii.2.102 and iii.iii.3.114 and both works with old PL-2303 HXA/X hardware.

If you don’t have the quondam versions of drivers, you can tried to install them from the minidisc provided with your product. On mine, I have ii programs (32 and 64 bits) called “PL-2303 WIN7 Driver Installer.exe”. Launch this plan, it will install the driver. Simply, as shortly as you plug the device on USB port, yous W10 volition revert to the latest version (3.half-dozen). If you watch the configuration panel, you volition encounter the COM port coming OK, but and then switch off because of error x. It don’t care, considering the onetime version is now bachelor in the list, and you can proceed as mentioned above. Once manually set, the device driver remain in the 3.3 release.

Tested on W10 family and pro, 32/64 bits.
The solution for old PL-2303 HXA/Ten : use a driver release older than 3.four.

I take tested it and it piece of work fine. The only trouble with it, is that, it reload the latest commuter when yous plug the device on a never used USB port. And so, if you alter place of connection, you should manually set the commuter to iii.three, but you have to do that only the first fourth dimension you used this port. Next fourth dimension, the driver remain to 3.3 and never upgrade to 3.half dozen.

Here is the driver with the solution!!

My device concerned is a GlobalSat USB GPS Receiver type BU-353-S4 with SiRF Star Four GPS chipset.

In the meantime action co-ordinate this guideline was successful:

“If you accept an older version of the SiRFDemo, uninstall it and restart your computer.

(*Skip this step if y’all have the electric current one.)

Download and install this latest version (3.87):

http://www.usglobalsat.com/store/downloads/SiRFDemo387.zero

Run the Sirf Demo software.
Connect your device, cull the correct COM port, and select the 4800 baud rate.
Go to Action > Open up Data Source.
Adjacent, go to Activeness > Switch to SiRF Protocol.
Then, go to Activeness > Switch to NMEA Protocol.
In the popular-up window, select the 4800 baud charge per unit under the Baud Rate and click Send.

Shut the Sirf Demo software.”

Remark:

– Bank check if newer s/w is available.
– Do exactly equally described higher up and don’t click or change anything. This tool is for profs.

The GPS Receiver works perfectly now under Win10 and the Prolific driver five. three.6.81.357 (04SEP2015).

I got to the screen to select updates to exist blocked, but the usb to serial was non an option.

It did list  a agglomeration of things that I could block.

I prefer not to block all updates.
