• Fix for the bad “Microsoft – WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM – 5.2.5326.4762” driver

    Posted on March 28, 2017 at 18:49 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    I have no idea if it works or not, but there’s a new patch coming down the Automatic Update chute for Win7, 8.1, and apparently Win10 1511 and 1607.

    I talked about it in InfoWorld earlier this month, and there was a lot of discussion here on AskWoody.

    See KB 4016754.

    This update includes a fix for an incorrect device driver (“Microsoft – WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM – 5.2.5326.4762”) that was released by a third-party on March 8, 2017 that affected a small group of users with USB connected phones or other media devices that rely on Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). If the driver is on your system, when any of these devices are connected, Windows will try to install this driver. These devices will not be connected until the driver is removed. This incorrect driver was removed from Windows Update the same day, but it may have been downloaded to your computer. After installing this update the incorrect driver will be removed.

    Any reports on whether it works or not? “Released by a third party” but distributed through Automatic Update.

    Only took three weeks to fix it.

    More info – and a rant – in InfoWorld Woody on Windows.

    Thx, @PKCano
