    WUDFRd Driver Failed to Load

    Usually this is a Kernel-Pnp message telling you that WUDFRd failed to load a device.
    ex:
    The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device USB\VID_138A&PID_003D
    or
    The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\HPQ6000\3&b1bfb68&0.

    so first thing is to see what device it could not load.

    The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device


    Full event error: The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device {C5A047D8-CB5B-40E9-B9E3-316AB06B5A18}\WirelessKeyboardFilter`

    Driver environment:
    Windows 10 x64 desktop
    I have a wireless Microsoft mouse
    I do not have a Microsoft wireless keyboard
    I have the associated transceiver that should work for both (if installed)

    This problem started when my Microsoft wireless mouse driver was updated to version 1.0.102.0 (dated 3/16/2016).
    This driver update also appears to be responsible for a few other device errors as well:

    I believe this new driver assumes you have a wireless keyboard (without checking) and just tries to load a driver for it.

    My temporary fix is/was to rollback the driver to the previous Microsoft version 10.0.10586.0 (dated 6/21/2006):

    Anyone else run across this condition or have a known solution using the latest driver?

    Thanks,

    The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device


    Hi,

    I'm been having issues a looong time with different sorts of BSOD's but I've been able to cook it down to this last one after replacing both graphics card and Logitech headset.

    Latest error which occuring at least once per day:
    The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device SWD\WPDBUSENUM\{01539fd4-4f12-11e4-824c-806e6f6e6963}#00000000007E0000.

    This happens very random and I'm really lost here.

    Thanks! / Micke
