Yes, been there, done that. For whatever the reason, on my computer,
every comport below #9 indicates already in use, even though nothing
is connected to the USB ports. I cannot select a comport value in the
oopic IDE range.

known but not active. The COM port numbers may be reused if
necessary. In my case there are about 20 VCOM ports left over from
various projects.

Yes, but I still cannot set its value into the oopic IDE range.
