Any help out there. Have the driver downloaded on Com5 but 11 doesn't appear to have a device manager to set it. any thoughts?
We've had at least one thread about this issue fairly recently. I don't have a dog in this hunt because I don't do Win11 yet, but I suspect that one solution is to emulate an older system on the machine.
I have the NCE USB module hooked up to my Win 11 laptop (on COM 5) and it works just fine. No emulator needed.
What version of JMRI are you running on your computer? Is it 4.26 or <, or V.5 or >? If the latter, did you delete Java 8 from your computer before installing Java 11?
JMRI V5.x only operates on Java 11. And you have to completely delete Java 8 before installing Java 11. After Java 11 is installed, then install the newest driver from Silcone Labs:

Always, always, remove older versions of Java. At one time, they were not deleted when installing new versions. Then, it seemed that when a new version was installed, the older one was deleted. Now, I don't know for sure which happens.
Also, when the new Java is installed, set the program security to high or very high.
Java is probably one of the most widespread programs out there, which means it is attractive to bad people looking to cause problems.
If you update it regularly and uninstall older versions, it is safe.

Unfortountly that's not always an option if one is running applications that require an older verison of Java. Even where I work, we have multiple versions due to that reason. What you can do though is set within Java, what the defauly version of Java is though, which may be enough.
With that said, so OP, are you saying that with it plugged in, device manager shows no device connected? Or is it listing as something like unknown?
I have had to remove the jumpers on the USB board to get mine to run on Win10. Also had to upgrade JAVA and it will not work if there's a Windows upgrade going on. I always have to wait until it's done before the USB is recognized.
Hope you get it sorted out.
