hello. Today I wanted to configure something in the COM PORT so I checked the device manager and I noticed that the COM PORT is not present. But it's always there before. Please help, how do I get it back? I'm using a laptop so I cannot open it...
The is no COM port on modern computers, do you have an USB/serial/bluetooth device plugged in ?

Could it be disabled in the BIOS? Those that have a com port usually have an option in the BIOS to enable/disable.
I have a new Gigabyte Z77 motherboard and it has a com port on the board. I don't have any I/O interface unit connected but its there if I ever wanted to use it. I also have another PC with a new ASUS Z77 motherboard and it too has the port.
open device manager
click on action
add legacy hardware
click on next
search for and install the hardware automatically(Recommended)
next
it will detect that com port and next
double click com port
next
next and finish
now you will be able to see that com port... :)
