No com port being assigned to my (photon) devices

This might be a side effect of the newly added USB HID Mouse/Keyboard/secondary Serial feature.
I had to remove the COM drivers from my system completely (even for hidden/non-present devices).

Can you show a screenshot of DevMgr and zadig (with the devices list open)?

Here is how to show non-present devices
