VS2019 Hangs when selecting serial port

Print Post  
When I try to select the serial port in the vMicro menu, Visual Studio 2019 hangs completely and becomes non responsive. I then get a message stating that Visual Studio is busy. If I leave Visual Studio running, it eventually closes and reopens, but hangs again as soon as I try to select the serial port.
I have been opening Visual Studio and selecting "Continue without code". If I create a new Visual Micro project or try to open an existing Visual Micro project, Visual Studio hangs and pretty much does the same thing as above.

Please show a screen shot of the vMicro>General menu

Please also confirm the name and date of the driver from control panel > device manager

Thanks

Silicon labs made a mistake when they published their 10.x driver. It can not be used via normal windows C# SerialPort code. It is for windows unverisal but not for windows 10

You need to install the 6.x version of the usb driver

Installing those drivers and rebooting seems to have me working. Thank you.
