What is going on with the new WPD driver?
The situation was brought to light by Günter Born, a known Windows enthusiast. According to him, the source of the problem lies in one of Microsoft’s recent updates. After doing a bit of detective work, he found out that the specific update causing the annoying USB connection issues is Microsoft’s WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM – 5.2.5326.4762 update. I’ve just spent 2 hours trying to get my Windows Phone reconnected ****! I get driver error in Device Manager, I cannot System Restore as that was turned OFF yet again by Windows, and the update isn’t listed for me to remove it. I’m totally stumped by this and need a fix ASAP please Microsoft.
