That's a Windows issue.

When NavCoder starts up, it scans the available COM ports.

If you plug in the USB interface, it takes a few seconds for Windows to make the COM port available.

Start NavCoder too early, and Windows won't have the COM port open yet... so NavCoder won't find it.

Give yourself a few seconds after the USB interface has been connected for Windows to do its thing before you start NavCoder
