ESP8266 not detected by Windows 10 after recent updates

I have gone through various articles of silicon labs (as it has CP2102 USB - UART converter) but it is really not helping.

Has anyone faced issues around it recently?

Hmmm no, the CP2102 is still seen and working here (Windows 10 21H1 Build 19043.1237).

I think it's best you just start over:

• Remove all CP2102 devices from the PC
• Remove the driver in device manager (View -> Show hidden devices -> Right click "Silican Labs..." (all if you have multiple) -> Uninstall device)
  
  
• Download the latest version from Silicon Labs and re-install
• Plug in your ESP
• Watch if it shows up again in your device manager and note it's COM-port
