To do this open the '''Universal Serial Bus''' controllers node at the bottom of Device Manager and you should see a '''USB Serial Converter''' node. Right click this node and click the '''Properties''' menu, then click the '''Advanced''' tab at the top. Make sure the '''Load VCP''' checkbox is checked and then click '''OK'''.
