Try using a "genuine" USB cable. I couldn't see Ports (COM & LPT) until I used the cable that came with an official GoPro

Hello Jack ..and win 10 not Show you in the device Manager the Comport & LPT is gone
any Idea for this

The Ports(COM&LPT) branch does not show two USB devices I have plugged in. It does show a device that has dedicated installed software. The other two devices are an RTL-SDR (software defined radio) and my iPhone 4. The phone is accessible in terms of images. The radio uses non-dedicated generic software. No COM number was chosen during installation.
Is there a way to determine the COM port? I can get the USB port and hub number.

If you don't see the COM ports listed in device manager that means you are missing a driver for your cable...Once you download the driver the COM ports will instantly appear.
