After installing Windows 10 one of my existing Windows 7 COM ports disappeared.
I have an Elecraft K3 radio transceiver connected to the computer which runs the DX Lab suite of software. One of the programs is DX Commander which displays frequency and other items from the radio.
The port the radio had been using was COM10. It is now not in the Device Manager list and I get the error message "Invalid port number (8002) the port = primary CAT port number 10 = settings = 38400,N,8,1"
Serial port COM11 works fine to another radio device. The only problem is that COM10 is gone, and I don't know how to re-establish it. The help pages direct me to a procedure for establishing new internet ports, of which there are thousands. I'm sure the serial ports are something else, but this seems hidden.
