Com Port Address Settings Windows 11

Tim Darling 16

I do not have an advanced tab on the properties window to change com port address in Windows 11. How do I change COM port address or enable the advanced tab in COM port properties?

I updated from Win 10 to Win 11 and since then, although the device manager says the virtual com ports were good, I could not get it to work. I then purchased a Com port PCI card , installed it and loaded the drivers, all checked as good, but still not working. I need to know if something in the bios or somewhere else has to be changed to get it to work.

I got to thinking about this some more and decided to make sure I had admin privledges. I found a page that explained Windows 10/11 has a hidden admin account that is normally disable. Type secpol.msc in to your search bar and it will bring up you local security policy. Change admin account from disable to enabled and reboot. Problem solved!! Should have know Windows restricted access to some of the system settings. Link to page below -

Disconnect the COM-Adapter and reconnect it on an other port, while doing that, the divce manager has to stay open
