What data lead were you using?   If it uses a Prolific USB-Serial 
bridge, it may be an old type of chip, or a clone.  Either way Windows 
(and many Mac systems) will not use them.   (Without compromising the 
security of your system by blocking automatic updates and then manually 
installing an earlier driver suite.)

But Linux (even recent distro's) use them just fine, regardless. Had 
similar issues locally, with a group that uses dozens of Baofeng 
radios.  All the interface leads used "hookey" chipsets.  A Windows box 
and a Mac, both failed.  My old Dell running Mint, "just worked"...

Counterfeit IC's are rife in that part of the gadget after market.

Take care.
