After the last Win11 update came out in March 2025, my driver for BK Radio device programming stopped working. One model of radio will cause the system to blue screen. The driver does upload into the Network Adapters list, but never shows up as a com port device. Ethernet port 13 does appears, but it is labeled as not working. I did look in Windows update, it says the driver is up to date and works fine. Need this to be working, very important.

The system does recognize the RNDIS connection when the radio hooks up. I followed the plan, but the driver has no different driver updates. The problem is the device never shows up in the COM ports list, so somewhere the driver does not allow the USB port to recognize the device. That is the big problem at present.

Did you check the BK Radio manufacturer? Like, i don't know - maybe this one: BK Technologies - Service Portal

Are you using Windows 24H2 or 23H2?! Build 24H2 is more sensible to older drivers, especially if it's some unconventional device.
