Updating NI-Serial driver after Windows 10 Pro update

[galvinpaul1718]

A recent Windows 10 Pro update invalidated our NI-Serial driver (COM-Port doesn't show up anymore).

Last year I switched the software we use from Labview 2013 to Labview 2018sp1.  The serial-driver was from that (recent) Labview-version.

To solve the invalidated driver NI now forces me to update many software parts in one HUGE, ULTRA-SLOW update.  I frankly only care about the serial-driver.  Is there a (simple) way to just update the serial driver for my users?

21.3 should still be compatible with LabVIEW 2018.  There is a "Offline Install" button you can use to download the 1.5GB installer.  That's about as small as it will get for now unless you do the "online" install where you install NI Package Manager and then use the product browser to install NI-Serial (it will only download and install what is chosen on the fly).
