Windows 10 also display Port tree.
While there is not port tree you dont get port names in application.
Try to Re - install serial port device driver.

Hi,
Try this code :
using System;
using System.IO.Ports;
namespace SerialPortExample
{
public class SerialPortExample
{
public static void Main()
{
// Get a list of serial port names.
string[] ports = SerialPort.GetPortNames();
Console.WriteLine("The following serial ports were found:");
// Display each port name to the console.
foreach(string port in ports)
{
Console.WriteLine(port);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

Hi Turk,
First of all check your pc have port avilable or not?
For check available port follow below step
Right click on my computer
Click on Manage
Click on Device Manager from left pane
Expand Ports(COM & LPT)
