I already have the BTECH FTDI cable, thanks Bryan. And I've never had a problem with the drivers that Windows Update provides for the FTDI chipset on Windows 10.
I'm just offering Microsoft's "driver rollback prevention solution" (below) for whomever might want it, for whatever device. It's a way to prevent driver updates for specific devices, as opposed to preventing all updates for all devices, or disabling Windows Update entirely (which is not a good idea).

I gave up trying to swim upstream in Microsoft's river. Either go with the flow or jump ship to Linux. :@)
Seriously, there are "supported" methods in Windows 10 to prevent Windows Update from undoing your successful driver rollback. This method is the easiest I've found for folks that would rather not dig too far under the hood of the Microsoft bus:

Problem solved. I installed the 3.2.0.0 into Windows 10 from Miklor
web site. All is well. Never had any problem with Windows XP or Windows 7, until I tried it on my Windows 10 laptop. I'm never getting rid of those older computers.

Windows 10 updates the Prolific driver to one that makes some Prolific cables not work. These cables have fake chips in them. Roll back your driver to 3.2.0.0. It will work then. For driver info, go to www.miklor.com.
