How to change the name of the USB in device manager.

[Scott Dev]

Hi

I am using the STM32L4 and using the Cubemx for initialisation and the USB as a virtual serial port. When the USB cable is connected I can see the name appear in the device manager under the Ports (windows 10). How can I change what name is displayed within the device manager?

Many thanks

Scott

In Windows 10, options to make a custom name visible in UI are limited, if standard in-box drivers are installed.

The best UI view to see the custom names is "devices and printers".

To discuss more options, you can visit the Microsoft drivers & WDK forum.

I see, thanks. I thought name comes from the device that is plugged into the USB

Yes, it does, but this name is visible only in device manager details view ("Bus reported device description").
