FTDI devices are usually powered from the USB cable connected to the PC,
which is why they appear even when the connected device is turned OFF.

To identify which COM port is the device, open Windows Device Manager,
expand the *Ports* section, then disconnect the USB cable from the Device,
and you should see one or more COM ports disappear from the list (or turn
gray if *View > Show Hidden Devices* is enabled in the Device Manager Menu).
