Windows 10: Every time Win10 updates I have to reinstall wpdmtp.inf for my phone.

Windows 10 x64 1903 had some updates today that required a reboot. After rebooting it no longer recognized my Android phone.

As with the umpteen prior times I had to go to C:\Windows\Inf\wpdmtp.inf and right click then click Install to get it to recognize the phone.

Why does Windows 10 insist on breaking this almost every time it updates anything? I used to be able to just plug my phone into USB and it'd work. Then at some point it changed to where I have to tap Allow on a popup on my phone before Windows will access it.

How do I get back to the "It Just Works!" way it used to work, or at least stop Windows from repeatedly breaking wpdmtp.inf so it has to be reinstalled?

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

 

Can't install any Android phone drivers after Windows 10 aniversary update

Thank you for updating us on the issue. We would suggest you to try locating the file 'wpdmtp' in C:\Windows\INF. Right-click on the file and update it. Once the update is done, plug
in your phone again and check if the issue persists.



Feel free to get back to us if you need further assistance.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
