Anyone looking for and extra 20% to 30% speed improvement out of their USB; do have a look at my post here:
I recently reinstalled windows 11. Until then (win7/win10) Renesas USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0096 (Microsoft) had found its working 64bit Renesas Gen1 USB 3.0 Drivers v2.1.39.0 mod+signed by me.
It seems that there is a new generic Microsoft driver since January 2023.
But I don’t know if I should be happy about it or not, because my new Windows install doesn’t seem to be stable: windows crashes randomly without me being able to determine the source of the problem. No BSOD or eventlog to help me identify the problem.
So I have a suspicion about this new generic Microsoft driver but I have no idea how to force the installation of the modified driver that has worked so well for years. Can anyone guide me because every time I try to force the installation of the modified driver, Windows tells me that a better, newer driver is already installed?

Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
If you want to to force the installation of a driver, which is not accepted by the normal driver update routine (right-click onto the device > “Update driver” > “Browse my Computer…” > “Search”), you should do the following:
- Open the Control Panel and set a “Restore Point” (to be able to recover the current configuration).
- Run the Device Manager again, but choose “Let me pick…” instead of pressing the “Search” button.
- Press the “Have Disk” button and navigate to the matching INF file of the desired driver named nusb3xhc.inf.
- Disregard a warning message, that the function of the driver cannot be confirmed.
- Don’t forget to update the related USB Hub driver the same way (by choosing the file named nusb3hub.inf).
- Reboot once the installation of both drivers has been completed.
- Check the system integrity and the function of the USB ports.
Good luck!

Hi Fernando,
Windows 11 failed to install the 2 drivers; here is the order I followed. Is it necessary to follow the procedure quoted below for windows 8/10 to force the installation of an unsigned driver?
@Galinace
Did you successfully import the Win-RAID CA Certificate before you tried to replace/update the driver?

I feel embarrassed to admit that I know nothing about importing Win-RAID CA Certificate. As I recall, I had just installed your modified driver for Windows 8.1 and then 10. Maybe I did it wrong…
Before I do that, I want to make sure I’m following the right procedure: is this the page?
EDIT : It’s perfect; I got the certificate and then the drivers installed correctly. I hope I found a solution for my random Windows crashes.

Hello @Fernando, thank you for the topic and support.
I was wondering what drivers I can use for DEV_43F7
thank you very much!
@dotexe Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Without knowing the chipset of your mainboard and the OS you are running I cannot answer your question.
Enjoy the Forum!

Apologies for that -
my chipset is X670E on the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO mainboard and the OS is Windows 11 (22H2 - 22621.1992)
thank you!
USB device, no external driver required for Windows 10 and later operating systems. The operating system’s factory driver is perfectly adequate.

Understandable and I agree that the drivers are adequate. However I enjoy tinkering around and the NVME driver switch has improved performance in many ways. It would’ve been nice if I could test the same with my peripherals.
If you have a suggestion which drivers I could use, please let me know.
I have the same opinion about PCIe SSDs. I stopped using third party drivers a while ago, there is no point. Manufacturers don’t release newer and newer versions for these for a reason, like for a VGA. Microsoft on the other hand updates every few months. But this topic belongs in another thread.

I strongly disagree with you westlake:
Here is a before and after of my 58GB Optane 800P:
ie: stock MS vs Intel mod driver:
NB the R4K Q1T1 numbers as 66% of Windows I/O is them, NOT the large sequential #s SSD marketers wave around like burning flags.
92 MB/s faster reads.
92 MB/s is more than most NAND based NVMe SSDs do for R4K.
For my Corsair MP600 I get a good 30MB/s more in Random writes by using the mod Samsung drivers.
That’s the I/O windows does 58% of the time.
H’lo. Can anyone post USB drivers for DEV_43F7, DEV_15B8, DEV_5B7, DEV_15B6? I am want mod driver. Thank you.
@miirie
Since I have stopped the support of this thread, you cannot expect any modded USB driver from my side.
By the way - you forgot to mention the manufcturer of the USB devices and the target OS. Additionally you have mentioned a not existing DeviceID (DEV_5B7).
@all
Users, who want to get a specific driver, should give at least the following information:
1. VendorID (VEN_XXXX) and DeviceID (DEV_XXXX) of the related device (here: USB Controller)
2. target Windows OS incl. its architecture (32/64bit)
Absolutely. My folly. I am not sure how I mistype that.
You look here:

Hello guys, im new here and im trying to understand how this works. These are my hIDS:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A2AF&CC_0C03
im running a z370 a pro with a i5 9600k. Im not sure about what driver would work but I guess this one (pure" 64bit Intel USB 3.0/3.1 Drivers v5.0.4.43 re-mod with DPInst option) would work?
@cai0ba Welcome to the Win-Raid Forum!
Only the user of your specific system knows the answer. Why don’t you try it yourself?
Good luck!
