As suggested in the post, we have tried with no avail to get a USB to Serial adapter to work since Windows 10 1703 update. We bought the FTDI adapter as suggested, updated the driver for the prolific as suggested, tried to switch to Microsoft USB to Serial, only to blue screen the machine.
Windows 10, Baofeng, and Chirp

All StarTech.com product IDs can be identified by a combination of letters and numbers. For example, such as USB2VGAE3 or USB32VGAEH. Typically, the product ID can be found on the unit itself, but it can also be found on the packaging it came in. The package provides the installation files for FTDI USB Serial Port Driver version 2.12.16.0. If the driver is already installed on your system, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix various issues, add new functions, or just upgrade to the available version.
The Windows 10 installation/upgrade includes a newer version of the Prolific USB-Serial driver. This is the interface driver software that translates many USB to Radio adapters via a Com-Port (for lack of a more complex explanation).
There is one problem. The newer drivers create a false positive on the serial interface and throw the radio into a transmit mode upon connection to the PC. This prevents any updates to the radio using Chirp software and forces your radio into an uncontrolled (undesired) transmit state.

New Prolific Drivers may give a FALSE Positive: (6-2015) – Windows will now load the newest Prolific driver 3.6.78.350 when inserting your cable. A Yellow Triangle may not always appear in Device Manager as described below, however,when you insert the cable into your radio, the transmitter will turn on.
As a resolution to this, the solution is to roll back the driver to a 2007 version. And, the instructions can be found on the Miklor web site – http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php#install
