Hi Mark. I have the same problem with windows 10..I found this on line and I run it every time I have a problem and it works..look for this on your search with either google or some other search program..
...pl2303_64bit_installer...works with 32 or 64.. I now use a old laptop with windows 7..hope this helps..

With the latest Windows 10 update earlier this week, my K3S and P3 can no longer communicate with my Windows 10 PC via the USB cables.  I’ve gone into Device Manager and right clicked on the COM12 device drive and clicked “update driver” and that updated from a 2016 driver to a 2017 CM port driver, but neither connect the PC to my K3S or P3.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.
