We're going back to the days of Windows 98 when this code would work. Past that, Windows gummed up to ports to the point access was not possible without third party intervention such as porttalk: https://superuser.com/questions/1336100/...windows-10
Now that stated, I do not know if there were any QB64 additions that would solve this situation, as I also do not work with comm devices. I know a fellow who does, over at Pete's QBasic site (Not mine, that other Pete). He used to work a lot with comm ports and robotics. He mods the place now. So if you're really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, desperate for a possible answer, if one doesn't appear in this thread, I'd say try there. Address your question to Clippy. Well, shower time.
