COM Ports not showing up

This does not help you. And don't worry, we believe you if you say that the IDE does not show the port.

My experience is the same as ieee488. I got a freshly installed Win10 Enterprise 64 bit (company) laptop. Installed the 1.8.5 IDE and tested all the boards that I have. FTDI (on a sparkfun redboard) was straight away recognized and windows installed the drivers; 16U2 also worked out-of-the-box as well. CH340 drivers I had to install manually (as usual).

And the Leonardo also worked.

Check your PC for viruses and other crap; the install error that you get might be an indication and that message is why it does not work.
