Plug the adapter in and let it reinstall itself (I would likely reboot the PC before doing so, though that for probably no particular reason).
I know that sounds of little chance of solving the issue given that Windows itself can see the device, but given it only takes a minute to try it is what I would try first.

Actually show hidden devices won't work for non-present devices. I use the following lines in a batch file which needs a right click and run as administrator to show non-present devices.
Code:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
cd \windows\System32
start devmgmt.msc
An alternative is to use Nirsoft's USBDeview, again right click and run as administrator to allow deleting devices.
