The best way to uninstall drivers is to go into the Device Manager, select the FTDI cable and uninstall the drivers. I purchased this FTDI cable from Amazon 3 weeks ago and I've never had any problems with it. When I plugged it into the USB port, Windows 10 automatically installed the drivers and I've never had any problems with it. I have been a computer technician for many years so if you have any problems or questions, please feel free to ask.

Don't purchase any programming cable that comes with a CD, it is the wrong cable and there is a virus on the CD. Please feel free to ask any questions I have failed to answer, or any questions you need clarification on. Thank you,Dan Jolleyoldhippie1955@yahoo.com

is there any chance that someone is able to write the s/w necessary to [in WIN 10] DELETE the FTDI driver which renders the baofeng cable inoperative AND write the s/w which would REenable the baofeng cable after FTDI has trashed it so we can use it w/ CHIRP and WIN 10? tnx, larry KD9AVZ
When you say "the boafeng cable", do you mean the programming cable manufactured for Baofeng and has a Baofeng label? If you do, it has a counterfeit Prolific type chip. It doesn't use FTDI drivers. All you have to do to make it work is to download, install and select the Prolific v3.2.0.0 driver that was released back in 2007.
When you say "the baofeng cable", do you mean the Kenwood style 2-pin programming cable that fits Kenwood, Wouxun, Baofeng and many other radios? If you do, all you need to do is purchase a programming cable with a genuine FTDI chip and no driver will render it inoperative. There are plenty of sources, Baofeng Tech (a Baofeng radio dealer based in the USA not to be confused with Baofeng the radio manufacturer based in China).
