Enabling Irda in Windows 10 (Infrared Remote Control)

I have an Infrared Remote originally designed to use with Windows 7 MCE. Only recently I noticed that it had stopped working and so I started some research on the web to find the solution. To cut a long story short I found this technical article which appeared to be the solution:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...0-version-1511
It only applies to Win10 version 1511. It so happened that I was having a lot of other problems relating to corruption of my installation of Windows (Ashampoo Burning studio was refusing to work properly and crashing) so decided to do a reinstall and follow the above article immediately afterwards. I now have Win10 version 1511 installed. I have a lot of updates to install but am quite prepared to reinstall to go back to ver 1511 to get this to work.

I managed to follow the instructions as far as enabling Irda in an elevated command prompt and got the ".../done" response for both commands. However, when I tried the next step of "flushing the updated configuration information to the registry" (step 2) There was no "IrDA network device" under Network Adapters in Device Manager.
I even followed the same steps again using the hidden system Administrator account thinking this may be some sort of permission problem. That didn't work either.

Now I am stuck. Is there anyone out there who can a suggest anything to help please?

IRDA driver for windows 10 fix

I want to use my old remote control to pause and play music and videos like I did before.

With one of windows updates a few years ago it stopped working and I don't want to throw away my devices because of windows update.

I've read that a lot of people have the same problem and I can't make it to work either, se links for more info about problem:

Or just google "IRDA Windows 10"

I cant make sense of all try outs for solutions and I would like to know how I will get this IRDA driver to work on my Windows 10 Home, V1903.

If there is no way, can you please link me older Windows 10 versions when this was working?

I can stop windows update then and use my remote, it's fine.

Best Regards

Medda
