Windows 10: IrDA does not work on Windows 10.0.18362 & 10.0.18363

SigmaTel USB-IrDA dongle DriverVer=06/21/2006,6.0.6001.18000 not working on Windows 10.0.18362 & 10.0.18363
Error: Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information in the registry is incomplete or damaged. Code 19

But, on ver. 10.0.17763 it worked perfectly!

Microsoft missing some drivers and system files in version 10.0.18363 :
irclass.dll
irftp.exe
irmon.dll
irda.sys
irenum.sys

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?

 

Installing Windows 10, stuck at 0%

I'm installing Windows 10 for my mum. I followed all the steps and got to the installing screen where it says to not turn off the computer and that it will restart several times. It has been at 0% for over 3 hours now. Any suggestions?

 

Windows 10 and IRDA

It's a single command. It worked for me! Before running it, I queried for the irda service and it wasn't there. After running the command, I could see the service in a running state.

Here is my console session...

C:\WINDOWS\system32>sc query irda

[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>netcfg -u ms_irdanetcfg -c p -I ms_irda
