Control Panel | Device Manager | Ports | (Top Menu) View Hidden Devices Uninstall each greyed-out USB jack icon. That clears out unused, but reserved COM ports. I have found this an annoying problem when connecting and reconnecting virtual COM port devices. Perhaps someone can write a script to do this.

Thanks, that's a good way to do it. Windows should have easier options.
Windows is stupid. It doesn't release ports when it should.
