Well after a LOT of research, trial and errors, testing, I finally figured out my issue and it's working now.
Posting this in hopes this will help someone else.
I also notice in my original post I put that I built a new Windows 10 box, but I mistyped and should be Windows 11 but I'm guessing this works on a new Windows 10 install too.
I appreciate the responses here.
This fix is for a Vantage pro 2, wireless console with a serial-usb data logger.
After upgrading to Windows 11:
1. click on the "USB-Serial Controller D" driver listed that shows yellow warning and then click update driver
2. click browse my computer for drivers
3. click let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
4. Scroll down to ports
5. Scroll down to microsoft, then choose "USB-Serial modem device)
