I use the same adapter and Win 10 updates killed it every time. I found if I uninstalled the adapter in device manager and rebooted when it was reinstalled it then worked. I still use that adapter but went back to win 7 because I was tired of problems.0

I use original adapters by FTDI from here https://www.ftdichip.com
On MAC, on any WIN, after any Win updates - trouble free
Currently in use with my 6700 adapters are running in Win10 x64 installed on Parallels for MAC
Everything fine since start with Flex6700 - July 2013
Sergey, probably you not follow exactly with drivers UM for you cables, recommendation is - disconnect cables before start installation wizard and only after completed you can plug in your usb-rs232 BTW, on screenshot above I can see you have a trouble with cm0com virtual driver ? Probably issue is in drivers conflict ?0 -
If you use the FTDI supplied drivers, you will be trouble free on Win10.0

Well, i do use supplied drivers. I have these adapters work for a few years in my PC without glitches. The only recent changes on my PC are Windows updates and Flex software install. I tried supplied drivers on CD and tried official drivers from FTDI website with the same results , as on image above. I have 2 different adapters, both recognized fine when I connect them directly to 6600 and I use one with Microham Station Master. Sergey, Kn7k0

Thanks Sergey, Adapters I use recognized by 6600 fine, windows see them as FTDI as well, so not sure why am getting VSP error. I may try to buy one from FTDI website for experiment. Thanks Kn7k0

Sergey,
I removed USB adapter and tried to install drivers again, it still failed to install VCP driver.
I also removed com0com as i do not use them anymore.
Anyway, i guess i will follow your advice and will buy one-two from FTDI website.
Could you tell me please which exact model did you buy?
Thanks
Sergey, KN7K
