Microsoft-provided USB drivers for controllers and hubs

After downloading, installing, and reinstalling the USB driver, now is the time to update the same. Therefore, below is the most recommended method to do it. Update USB drivers on Windows 10 automatically using Bit Driver Updater. As one can see, the methods described above to download USB drivers on Windows 10 and update them are tedious. Yes, the issue that I cant install any new driver in my system, even very common like mass storage driver. I logged as administrator, the 'rollback driver' button is dimmed. Probably this happen because driver isn't installed. I also tried rollback drive for USB Controllers. As part of the driver package, you provide an.inf file that installs Winusb.sys as the function driver for the USB device. The following example.inf file shows WinUSB installation for most USB devices with some modifications, such as changing USBInstall in section names to an appropriate DDInstall value.

Microsoft provides these set of drivers:

  • For USB host controllers and hubs. For more information, see USB host-side drivers in Windows. You can develop a custom host controller driver that communicates with the USB host controller extension (UCX) driver. For more information, see Developing Windows drivers for USB host controllers.
  • For handling common function logic for USB devices. For more information, see USB device-side drivers in Windows.
  • For supporting Type-C connectors. For more information, see USB connector manager class extension (UcmCx).
