I just confirmed from Settings > Devices that when I unplug and then plug it back in, it registers as USB Serial Device (COM3).
So you never used the Arduino software to select what board/port you’re using?
I’ve been doing a bit of research and some said to change the type to MIDI or anything else to see if it worked and if it did, than something else on the PC was blocking that port. I change the type to Serial + MIDI and that changed the port to COM4. Which the system now recognizes in the log file, but at the same time still gets denied. This is crazy.
