I actually think I have only ever used the driver installer once. I had not, but I just gave it a try and had the same problem as you. Have you tried it on one of the later feature updates on Win10? But, I've searched quite a bit (over the last 2 hours) and I keep winding up on the same threads from 4 years ago, nothing more recent is coming up & those solutions are not working. I apologize if this has been recently covered. I've had other issues with programs being blocked with no option to unblock them in the past few months leading to large amounts of frustration. I suspect Microsoft's recent over-enthusiastic "protect users from themselves" Apple mentality is to blame. I also tried on my main PC (also newer than the last time I tinkered with an Arduino) and it's also failing here with the same nondescript error. I've tried compatibility mode and disabling driver enforcement (as recommended on this forum as far back as 2017), but nothing is working. The installer will launch, but when I click the install button I get "Driver install failure!" I've downloaded several times from multiple sources. I know I need to install the driver for the CH340 controller to work properly, but I can't seem to install it. I've got an old laptop (2nd gen i7) with a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro 21h1 that I'm using in my new workspace to get back into tinkering, which I haven't done in several years.
