Just to make sure:
Note, Windows is very stubborn when it comes to sitting on COM
ports. The underlying architecture is not like UNIX, in Windows
the name of a port/file is locked, not the underlying
device/file body (inode) (that's why you need to reboot Windows so
often and sometimes multiple times after upgrades). Even
unplugging/re-plugging does not help to "reset" the situation, if
a zombie process is still sitting on the com port name.
Sometimes I simply had to reboot Windows for things to sort
themselves out.
If this is a Smoothieware controller and you have the SD card
drive enabled, you need to wait for the drive to appear in
Windows, before you connect OpenPnP. This takes longer and longer
over the years, probably due to more and more security checks
being performed on these drives by Windows and various installed
security softwares.
