Is there away to change number of COM port in a command line? I have many many devices and for each device Windows assigns different port number (and remembers this number!). But in my case only one device is connected at any given time. I use serial port COM (using USB ). Therefore I want to use only one COM port, let's say COM4 . I know that there is a way to create some sort of a link, redirection, alias:
change port COM4=COM6 This works! Now I can use COM4 . But! Windows also increments COM port number by one (1). I want Windows to forget old devices and port numbers because I wish to connect more than 256 different devices. Therefore this just cannot happen:
change port COM4=COM270 Is there any chance that I can order Windows to forget old devices and port numbers? I know this can be done in Device Manager but I want to (and have to) do this in a command line. I know there are also some other commands, for instance:
wmic path Win32_SerialPort
