<p>I already have the BTECH FTDI cable, thanks Bryan. And I've
never had a problem with the drivers that Windows Update provides
for the FTDI chipset on Windows 10.<br>
</p>
<p>I'm just offering Microsoft's "driver rollback prevention
solution" (below) for whomever might want it, for whatever
device. It's a way to prevent driver updates for specific
devices, as opposed to preventing all updates for all devices, or
disabling Windows Update entirely (which is not a good idea).<br>

I gave up trying to swim upstream in Microsoft's river. Either go
with <br>
the flow or jump ship to Linux. :@)<br>
<br>
Seriously, there are "supported" methods in Windows 10 to prevent
<br>
Windows Update from undoing your successful driver rollback. This
<br>
method is the easiest I've found for folks that would rather not
dig too <br>
far under the hood of the Microsoft bus:<br>
