Hi.
What is exactly the problem?
Did you go to this link: https://www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers?

Good morning Sara,
yes I typed the link and choose CP210x Universal Windows Driver
v11.0.0
11/17/2021
However by extracting the contents of the zip file, ‘nothing happens’. The re is an .exe file missing and nothing goes forward.
Telling the truth I’m not an expert and for sure the should be a different procedure to download the drivers, something I may don’t know yet.
Awaiting your kind directions
regards
Alex

Hi.
Taking into account what’s written on the release notes, I think it will be installed automatically when you insert a device that needs the CP210x driver.
INSTALLING
———-
The VCP driver is automatically installed by Windows Update for CP210x with
alternate PID values of 0xEA63, 0xEA7A, and 0xEA7B. These are not default
values.
Otherwise, unzip the .zip file and you will have a directory containing the
driver installer files.
### Prompted install ###
If Windows prompts you to install a driver for a CP210x device
(for example, if you plug a CP210x into your computer):
1. Use the dialog to browse for the driver location
2. Locate the driver folder (that you previously unzipped)
3. Follow the instructions
### Manual install ###
1. Using Windows File Explorer, locate the driver folder
(that you previously unzipped)
2. Right click on the silabser.inf file and select Install
3. Follow the instructions
UNINSTALLING
————
1. The device must be plugged in
2. Run Device Manager
3. Locate the device you want to uninstall
4. Right click on the device and choose “uninstall”
5. Follow the instructions
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Sara
