It's a while since I've used my PICAXE Editor 6.0.9.3, and I'm aware I've had a few Windows 10 updates since the last time. Today when I tried to program a new board I got the 'Can't open port COM4' message. When I checked in Windows Device Manager I saw that 'AXE027 PICAXE USB' has a ? against it, and on checking its 'Events' tab I see the last event is 'Device USB\VID_0403&PID_BD90\6&b5d7bd6&0&7 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.' I clicked on the 'Update Drivers' option, searching both my PC and the Internet, but it finds no drivers.
When I first plug my AXE027 cable into my PC I get the little 'ding-dong-ding', but I don't get the wizard for new hardware installation, so I'm unable to follow the usual instructions for installing the drivers. Please advise what steps I need to take.
