Hello!
I have a M1 Pro macbook with a Monterey installed. All my ch340 boards can't be detected.
Seems like I did something wrong. When I first plugged it in it was detected and could be seen in /dev/tty but then for some stupid reason I've installed a ch340 driver and since that time the bards can't be detected. I've removed installed drivers usb.kext and usbserial.kext, restarted, but it doesn't work.
Sometimes macos blocks the ports for safety. Check your security settings.
Here is an article on setting up the CH340 for mac: install_ch340_driver_for_macos [Bachinmaker]

The driver has to be built in Monterey, but it doesn't work for some reason anymore. No idea why
Did you read the article about unblocking the port?

Which one? The one that you've shared is about blocking extension.

Nothing is shown as blocked in the security section.
Wait for others to reply, or try a different driver, or consult a Mac forum.
First is probably best. I have no issue with mine though, plug and play.
Are you sure that the cable is a data cable, not just a charge cable?

There is no such a file "/Library/Extensions/CH34xVCPDriver.kext" I've deleted these files from var/db/receipts/ but it didn't help

Ok
Not sure what happened. You could try to reinstall the OS in recovery mode to go back to a clean OS if something was removed along the way
Macs can operate in macOS Recovery Mode, which allows you to run emergency maintenance on your desktop or laptop. It’s a special mode that loads native recovery tools that help you out when you are in a jam.

Make sure you have a full up to date backup…

It's a bit too much. I have so many things installed and with custom settings.
