The USB adapter (UART) with hardware id[1] USB\VID_067B&PID_2303&REV_0300[2] is recognized as "PL-2303 XA / HXA".[3]

Prolific do not provide an official Windows 8 (and above versions) driver for the EOL/discontinued chips PL-2303H, PL-2303HX (Rev A), PL-2303HXA, PL-2303X, PL-2303XA.[4][5]

By using old drivers (version 3.3.2.105)[6] the USB adapter works on Windows 10.[7][8] Other driver versions (e.g. 3.2.0.0) can cause BSoD during PuTTY communication.[9]
