Port Error occuring on device manager and on Arduino IDE

Development Tools Uploading
1

I am trying to run a simple 'led blink' program using ESP32 and Arduino IDE, while setting it up I have used Silicon Labs CP210x driver (CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers - Silicon Labs) as suggested in the hardware module. Initially my Windows system didn't detect it, so I manually added it.

It is giving this kind of error , so I tried to update it, uninstall & reinstall it again but nothing worked.

Also I have my code for led blinking and on uploading it is giving the following error!

code :

const int ledPin = 2;

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  delay(1000);
}

Error :

Global variables use 20184 bytes (6%) of dynamic memory, leaving 307496 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes.

I have been working on this from past couple of days and I have also tried different drivers of Silicon Labs but nothing worked.

Help Appreciated!

While I have no answer, it's likely that to solve this, someone's going to need a link to the exact product you're struggling with; there are seemingly hundreds of slightly different ESP32 modules, so if you can identify what you have, it may help.

It is ESP32 WROOM-32 Development Board
and the driver I am using is CP210x Windows Driver.

Thanks for the guidelines. Yeah I downloaded the highlighted driver.

you're welcome!
I'm sorry your driver doesn't work,
I'll see if I can find a solution.

Can you suggest me which one i should opt for, as I have a windows system?

you already got the recommended version.
are you perhaps using windows 11?
if so the process might be different.

What's the process for windows 11? I actually tried using Windows 10.

for the windows 11 you might need the universal windows driver, as it's the newest windows driver.
I think it's made for windows 11.

Okay I will try that out with Windows 11.
Also will this Universal Windows driver work for Windows 10?

okay, I hope it works!
I used the windows driver for window 10, and never had a problem, I'm unsure as to why you're having issues.

the universal windows driver might work for windows 10, it's "universal", so you might want to try that one before you download windows 11.

Although I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, if windows does not detect it, I doubt manually adding it will help.

You must look at the cause why Windows did not detect it in the first place. One possible cause can be the cable; it might be a charge-only cable instead of a data/sync cable.

however, I don't work at silicon labs, nor do I chat in their community, so I hope I didn't make a mistake.

it should look like this:
