I plugged a
Baofeng programming cable into a laptop running Windows 11 but
Win11 does not have the drivers to support it. Anyone have a
programming cable that works on both Windows 10 and 11?

Someone will probably reply with a more complete answer but the
short form is that the current drivers can detect counterfeit
prolific part (and FTDI, for that matter) and refuse to work with
them. Your cable is almost certainly built with a counterfeit chip.
What you need to do is point your web-browser at miklor.com and dig
down to the instructions for downloading and installing the Prolific
v3.2.0.0 driver, which predates the counterfeit detection, and use
that. Also lock it in place so that Windows doesn't replace it
again with the newer rev.
