Why You Should Download a LibUSB Device Driver
Windows 10 Mobile support is here! This new project adds Windows platform USB support to the libusb drivers, so that programmers easily communicate with USB mobile devices on Windows using their preferred programs. Right now it only supports the WinUSB and hid drivers for common generic USB devices. Take note though, that both HIDs and generic USBs have their own unique driver needs, which the authors of this project have already taken care of. The current version of the libusb drivers also fully supports the new generation of smartphones (smartphones running Windows Mobile)
You will find a good number of companies offering you their generic USB driver downloads online, but all of them offer you a lacking tool that would make your task much easier than what it actually is. All you get from such downloads is a generic, outdated tool, which does not allow you to work on the newer Windows devices. In other words, such drivers are not designed to work with the latest operating systems. This is why you should get your USB device driver updated regularly to ensure that it can be used with the operating system of your choice. If you go to a company that offers such software, they will have easy to use USB device update wizard which allows you to select a device type and get its corresponding drivers in just a few clicks.
The most important thing about USB functionality is that, when it is correctly implemented, all the peripherals that you connect to a USB port can use the same protocol. So, if you want to connect your USB printer with your laptop, then you need to get its corresponding device driver. Similarly, all those digital cameras that you get to connect to your computer need a libusb driver. Or, if you want to transfer multimedia data from one device to another like your digital video recorder to your high definition television using its optical out port, you need to use a libUSB that handles this kind of function. In other words, you need to get your own device driver for each USB device. So, do yourself a favor and download a free one today.
