  • Open Device Manager on Windows.
  • Look for "STMicroelectronics Virtual COM Port" or "Unknown Device."
  • Right-click > Uninstall device. Check "Delete driver software."

USB Port Power:

iProg requires a stable 5V supply from the USB port. Some laptop ports (especially on older models or when running on battery) don't provide enough "juice." Try a USB 3.0 port or a powered USB hub. Troubleshooting the iProg Programmer Not Connected Hot Issue

The Driver Conflict

Since iProg relies on specific prolific or FTDI drivers to create a virtual COM port, Windows updates often "correct" these drivers with newer versions that are incompatible with clone hardware. A technician must ensure that the Device Manager recognizes the hardware under "Ports (COM & LPT)." If a yellow exclamation mark appears, the driver must be manually rolled back or reinstalled to a version that bypasses the "Code 10" error common in unauthorized chips.

By following these steps, you should clear the "not connected" status and get back to programming.
