Are COM ports show up in device manager correctly? Did you properly supply power to your system?

I’ve properly powered the system, I’m not sure about the ports. Is this something that is a windows local problem.

I am not sure what is happening on your QGC. It seems it has detected the Cube but unable to connect?

You may try to install Mission Planner and check if you have the proper drivers for Cube Orange.
