• You go into Control Panel -> System -> Device Manager.
  • Device Manager will display the non working device
  • Right click on that device
  • choose Update Driver Software
  • choose Browse my computer fro driver software
  • Enter “c:\windows\winsxs” in the edit field named “search for driver software in this location”.
  • Please verify that this directory exists on your computer. If your windows directory is named or located somewhere else, replace c:\windows by whatever you have.
  • Driver Update will search c:\windows\winsxs for the drivers there, this will take a while.
  • Good news. This will also fix this issue for subsequent driver installations – at least on my computer.
