Is the driver installed, does Windows 10 show the Comport for the device ??

If you have unknown, damaged or unmanaged ports you can review/clean them with the following steps,

For Windows versions less then 10.
Find the "Command Prompt" shortcut and Right-Click on it,
Select: Run as administrator
If required, Enter: Password
At the command prompt type (or copy paste) the following two commands,
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
devmgmt.msc
For Windows 10 and greater ...
In the Search box type
devmgmt
and select Device Manager.
When Device Manager opens,
Select: View
Select: Show hidden devices
In the Device Manager Tree view,
Expand: Ports (COM & LPT)
On any ports you want to remove,
Select: Right Click
Select: Uninstall
In the Confirm Device Uninstall dialog,
Un-Check: Delete the driver software for this device
Select: Ok

The next time you plug the device in, it will re-install ...

I personally Uninstall all virtual COM ports and just allow them to reinstall in the specific order I plug the devices back in ... That way I get what I want on the ports I want them on.

You need a VCP (virtual com port) driver for your usb interface. Assuming your interface is plugged in and running then you either have no drivers loaded, or have the wrong type.

Always helps to install the proper drivers so they can create a proper Virtual Communications Port for the device ...

It shouldnt hurt, but on a normal out of the box windows PCs the default driver for the OS loads and includes the VCP support, so no user driver install is required. *Sometimes* 3rd party software changes defaults though and the above needs to happen.
