I learned that I’m having this error because of a change FTDI did to their drivers to combat clones or counterfeit Chinese chips and it’s messing all kinds of things up, real FTDI chips included and that is why it isn’t recognized.
I purchased the Kip Kay Arduino Kit and assembled it and when I got to the Part 2 > Step 9 Checkpoint I could not get the board to show up on my computer in the Arduino Software!! I tried it on a virtual machine and it saw the device in the USB port list but the Arduino software still didn’t list a COM serial port.
