I wonder if you did not reboot windows soon enough to solidify the change. You would think that this would not matter, but maybe Windows needs to reboot for changes such as the driver setting. Glenn I have been fighting similar problems on Win10 on my Baofeng UV-5R+. I too rolled back the driver to 3.2.0.0 to get my "genuine" cable that I purchase from HRO to work once I upgraded to Win10. It worked fine on Win7 and never had a problem with the latest driver but would not work on Win10 till I rolled the driver back. I then turned off the auto driver updates for this device. Everything worked fine after rolling the driver back.
A few months later when I tried to read the radio again, it would not connect. I checked the driver and it was still the 3.2.0.0 driver in my listing. It took me several days till I updated the driver to the latest driver which of course did not work, but when I rolled it back again the 3.2.0.0 driver from the pick list for this device, it began to work again. Don't ask me what is going on but then set it back for auto updates. I will now just roll the driver back every time I want to use this cable.
I suggest you try to update your driver and then roll it back again to 3.2.0.0 to see if that works for you. I know it sounds stupid but it is worth a try since it worked for me.

I have strange issue with Windows 10, prolific serial adapter and BF-888S. It reports unable to download from radio.
Driver is proper (version 3.2.0.0, update is disabled), and Chirp works fine with the same adapter and other radio (Baofeng UV-B5) reading and writing.
I tried four different BF-888S and neither can be read.
However, when I use the same USB adapter on my old Windows XP computer, Chirp easily reads and writes those BF-888S.
Has anyone met with this problem?
