CH340 USB to Serial Adapter not Working (from November 2024) with Windows 10

The adapter is not compatible with the the september 2024 release of the CH340 driver, which is automatically installed by Windows. The adapter may embed a counterfeit CH340 chip.

The solution is to rollback to the 2019 release of the driver and to disable automatic installation of hardware device drivers (here)!

Here and here a more detailed explanation on this issue (discussed for Arduinos).
