Windows 10: How to stop Windows 11 update from removing my USB device drivers?

Hi I have a Hauppauge USB DTV device set up running on Window 11, when windows11 updates the drivers are being removed. Is there a way to get this behavior to stop so I can update?

[SOLVED] Windows 8.1 Not Detecting USB Devices

It is possible you may need to run VIAO update, after your upgrade to 8.1, to check for new drivers and patches.

Edit: Also, have you gone to device manager and check the item in the menu "show hidden devices".
See if their are any problems, uninstall any usb devices, and their associated listings in the other sections of the device manager that should not be there.

If need be... try GhostBuster to remove any ghosted devices you need/want gone.

You may need to do a refresh of Windows 8.1 as a last resort.

 

USB composite device "driver error"

Can you send us a screenshot of the error message? We suggest uninstalling and re-installing USB drivers and check if the issue persists. To do that, please follow these steps:

• Right-click on the Start button and select Device Manager.
  
• Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
• Right-click on the first USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers, and then click on
  Uninstall to remove it.
• Repeat these steps for the entire USB controller under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
• Restart the computer. Windows will automatically scan for hardware changes and reinstall all the USB controllers that you uninstalled.

Regards.

Hi Ai-Ling,

Appreciate the troubleshooting steps that you have tried. I suggest you run Hardware Troubleshooter and check as it is an automated tool which checks the hardware connected to the computer for any known issues and provides the details on how to fix
them. Follow these steps to run the troubleshooter.

• 
  Type Troubleshooting in the search bar and press “Enter”.
  
• 
  In the “Troubleshooting” window, click on “View All” on the left pane.

  Click on “Hardware and Devices”.
  
• 
  Click on “Advanced” and then click on “Run as Administrator”.
  
• 
  Click “Next” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.
  

I also suggest you to Disable & Enable all USB controllers and check if it helps.

• 
  Click Windows key + R, type
  devmgmt.msc and press Enter.
  
• 
  Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
  
• 
  Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers mode, and then click Disable one at a time.
  
• 
  Restart the computer, and then enable the USB controllers.
  

Update USB Controllers: To update the USB Controllers from Device Manager follow these steps.

  Go Select Device manager.
  
• 
  Double Click on USB Controllers to expand.

  Right click on the USB Controllers that is listed and select
