- Windows USB (WinUSB) is a generic driver for USB devices that was developed concurrently with the Windows Driver Frameworks (WDF) for Windows XP with SP2. The WinUSB architecture consists of a kernel-mode driver (Winusb.sys) and a user-mode dynamic link library (Winusb.dll) that exposes WinUSB functions.
- This is a USB connected phone, which offers 'GPRS' at 56kbits/sec and billed at $5/MB. Windows doesn’t show it as any device whatsoever, in Control Panel/ Devices. According to Thuraya, win8 is not supported. Now this could just be the usual script monkey reply (well it is, but they could be more helpful than a one-liner) so I investigated.
When you connect a USB audio device to a Windows 10 Version 1703-based computer the first time, the operating system detects the device but loads the standard USB audio 2.0 driver (usbaudio2.sys) instead of the specific device driver.
Optional: If you want to check if the USB driver is installed properly, select ‘Hardware and Sound’ on the Control Panel. 1) Under ‘Devices and Printers’ select ‘Device Manager’. Thuraya XT DUAL Software Upgrade Manual THURAYA TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY PAGE 10 OF 50.
Cause
This issue occurs because the USB audio 2.0 driver (usbaudio2.sys) isn't classified as a generic driver in Windows 10 Version 1703. Therefore, the system assumes that a compatible, nongeneric driver is installed for the device even though the driver is generic.
This issue also causes Windows 10 Version 1703 to postpone the search for other compatible drivers through Windows Update that typically occurs immediately after you install a new device.
Resolution
To fix this issue, use one of the following methods.
Method 1
To resolve this issue, install update 4022716.
Method 2
If the device-specific driver is distributed through Windows Update, you can manually update the driver by using Device Manager. For more information about how to do this, see update drivers in Windows 10.
Method 3
If the device is not yet connected, first install the device-specific driver, such as by using the appropriate installer. After the device-specific driver is installed, Windows 10 will select that driver instead of the standard USB audio 2.0 driver when you first connect the device.
Note
See the device manufacturer's user guide for specific instructions about how to install the driver.
