CP210x driver does not work with ESP32 on Windows 10

Yeah you are right, forgot to disclose that I bought it on Aliexpress, and contacting them for these kind of problems seems pointless.

Also, I am using an USB-hub, since my laptop has only USB-C ports. This morning, I connected the ESP32 through the hub, and the device was working! Couple hours later, tried again, same error code 10. However, I just tried it with an USB-C to micro cable, et voila, ESP32 functions normally. So the hub seems to be the issue.

The installed driver:
