How to Install the Windows 10 Prolific USB to Serial Driver

Are you struggling to install the prolific USB to serial driver on your Windows 10 device? Look no further! In this article, we will guide you through a step-by-step process on how to successfully install the driver.

Firstly, it is essential to note that the driver installation process may vary depending on your computer's operating system and hardware. However, the instructions provided below are specifically designed for Windows 10 users.

To begin with, ensure that you have closed all Control Panel windows before proceeding. Next, try a communications test again using TimeVue or TimeSource. This will help you troubleshoot any connectivity issues.

Now, download the Windows Driver Installer Setup Program (Win7/Win8.1/Win10/Win11) from the official website. Once downloaded, run the program and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.

During the installation process, you may be presented with multiple selections in the list. In this case, choose the driver dated '2007' in the model description. Next, select the option 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.'

Once you have selected the correct driver, click on the 'Driver' tab in the properties window and right-click on the item. Choose 'Properties' to access further settings.

Look for an item labeled 'USB to Serial Comm Port' under the 'Devices and Printers' section. Double-click on this item to access its properties.

To revert back to the proper driver, follow the instructions below:

* Go to Device Manager

* Right-click on the USB to Serial adapter and select Properties

* Look for an item labeled 'USB to Serial Comm Port'

* Disable the correct driver

The wrong driver may cause a 'Time Out in Clock# Check' during polling or a communication test. Therefore, it is crucial to install the correct driver to ensure smooth operation.

Additionally, if you are using a USB to serial adapter, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 may try to install a newer version of the USB drivers each time the computer is rebooted. To avoid this issue, make sure to follow the instructions provided in KB0154: USB to Serial Driver Installation Issues on Win7, Win8, and Win10.

In conclusion, installing the Windows 10 prolific USB to serial driver requires careful attention to detail. By following these steps, you should be able to successfully install the driver and enjoy smooth communication with your devices.
