Why Windows mode command (mode COMX) is showing different data then same COMX has in Windows "DeviceManager", under Ports/Properties. Are these supposed to be in sync? See COM port via command line .
The different data comes for Baud rate, Data parity, Data bits ... For example : Baud rate (DM - 115200, MODE - 1200), Parity (DM-7, MODE - 8).

The Windows Command Prompt is just an application, it is not an interface to the system configuration options, though you may be able to set or configure the system via Command Prompt commands.
What mode COMx will do is configure the settings for applications launched via that particular instance of the Command Prompt. If you do an echo "hello" >COMx after using the mode command then it will use the settings you configure.
Every program "sees" a consistent and "clean" configuration of the COM port based on the defaults set in Device Manager. You can subsequently configure the COM port in an application but it does not affect the defaults.

1Please augment your question to show the two conflicting sets of data. We can't guess what differences you're seeing. – AFH – 2018-10-15T15:53:02.400
