I tried to use the update driver, which I had downloaded the correct driver from Miklor, to load in.  It kept saying that I had the best driver.  Is there a workaround for this, now?  I finally found my FTDI cable, and then didn't have any problems.  But, I do have a couple of Prolific cables (no doubt fake), so, I would like to be able to use them.  Thanks, if anyone has a solution.

Follow the instructions here: https://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php#install

This is what I have been using since 2012. The same basic concept
works for Windows XP (driver v2.0.2.1) and Windows 7 through Windows
11 (driver v3.2.0.0) when your programming cable identifies itself as
having a Prolific PL2303XA chip. The latest Prolific driver available
works for the newer Prolific PL2303TA chips.
