Windows 10: Missing Windows 10 Apple Mobile Device Driver

I no longer have the Apple Mobile USB Device driver in my Portal Devices or USB Device listing. I have researched every article on both Apple and Microsoft and still no luck. Re=installed iTunes and performed every manner of mitigation I can find - and most of my friends have the same issue. It worked fine a few months ago, now I have two iPods and no driver to sync. Can't someone just post the link to the driver install for this? Based on the number of complaints and issues on this topic, seems that Microsoft would make this available for Windows 10 users. Hours and hours invested but no resolution yet.

If this doesn't work then I'm sorry but the device may be to old to work with Windows 10.
