Arduino Uno on a Motion Sim Rig (Dofreality P3) - Com port not created

Hello

I tried for several days to get a motion sim platform (Dofreality P3) running that is using a Arduino Uno board (on a Windows 10 64bit platform).
No matter what I tried, it did not work, like:

  • Test on all USB ports
  • Switch USB cables
  • Pre-install CH351SER (did not work, would not add a COM port)
  • Remove and re-install all USB ports of the PC
  • Install FTD drivers (did install something but did not help to recognize it)
  • Fresh Win10 installation on another partition
    With the standard installation of the motion platform, 2 unknown devices appear, but if trying to manually update drivers with the one's from Arduino 1.8.9 (pointing to /drivers folder), that did not work either.

Strange enough the installation worked absolutely fine on an older Dell Notebook (also with Win 10), added a COM port 4 and worked...
On another PC though I had the same problem (also Win 10).

So I doubt this is a hardware related issue.
