This is why I transitioned from Windows to Linux Mint several months ago.

That would be a terrible way to handle updates. If a user has set specific
parameters to meet their needs, Windows should simply leave them alone — unless
they no longer exist in the updated version, or their effect/context has
changed. If macOS reset everything to defaults every time there was new
version, Apple would find my several Macs in front of the nearest Apple Store,
“kitted out” with a sledge hammer .. :-)

Since Microsoft does not know of every piece of software, on every Windows
computer in the world, for simplicity, very often a Windows update will set
values to DEFAULT values. Therefore, it is necessary for the user to set
certain parameters to their preferred values after an update. I view that
this is no fault of Windows, it is just the way they handle updates. Unless
one is very familiar with the in-depth operation of Windows, it is wise for
anyone to make notes of values, locations and they way one access certain
application settings.

Ray,
By any chance did your first computer receive any updates from Microsoft
recently? MS updates are well-known to completely bugger custom
settings, including COM port settings.
Just a thought.
