Deleting Old Devices
Windows keeps a record of the old devices connected to your computer. This can become annoying with things like COM ports... especially if the programme you are using only works with COM ports 1 to 9 (yes this is still a problem even in 2019 :-( ).
The process is simple:
- Start a command prompt as Administrator
- Set
devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 - Run device manager
- Click
View -> Show hidden devices - Delete the old ones to taste!
