Windows may ‘update’ the driver again, just rollback the update in Device Manager. PL2303TA provides a convenient solution for connecting an RS232-like full-duplex asynchronous serial device to any Universal Serial Bus (USB) capable host. Prevent automatic Windows driver updates. Unpack in a folder, Update driver, Look on this PC, Have disk, Browse to the folder.
