Those FTDI chips and clones only work with that driver. They aren't class compliant. What should Windows do here when a device gives the FTDI USB ID? Seems like its doing what it should.

- drzaiusapelord 11y agoWindows has driver roll-back built-in. Also, businesses typically use WSUS, where you need to intentionally whitelist driver updates. If you have a CNC machine set to get all Windows Update from MS without oversight and testing, well, you're doing it wrong. I suspect a lot of "GUISE MY CLIENTS ALL HAVE DOWNED MACHINES THIS MORNING" is straight-up bullshit. In my experience, CNC machines are sacred cows and never, ever updated, let alone ever get driver updates. Hell, it isn't even patch Tuesday. This does punish the hobbyist who just bought some toy and WU grabbed the latest driver. The world's manufacturing isn't going down this morning. Lets stop being naive.
- nitrogen 11y agoAny time you use words "typically" and "doing it wrong", you can assume that thousands of people are typically doing it wrong. Also, it's a little late for driver rollback if your hardware is already bricked.
