I try to download the Windows 10 driver from
http://www.wch.cn/download/CH341SER_EXE.html
but the website is very slow or not active.

They posted november 2, 2015 a Windows 10 driver CH341SER.exe.
But now I can't download it.

Can anybody help?

Thnx!

This was downloaded and installed by Windows 10 when I plugged into the ESP8266 ESP-12-x
Use Driver Manager to update the driver and force it to use the internet.
wch.cn produced the driver and it has been signed by Microsoft.
DO NOT download drivers from sites on the internet besides Microsoft or the manufacture, fair warning.

Link to CH341SER.ZIP
I just downloaded it without a problem other then the translation and the way they have the web site setup -- it is not too insane to show the files as URL's but the only way to download is a button located somewhere on the page where the URL's are.
