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 have for a while experienced hard reboots while playing games.

When I look in the eventlog I see that "The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device" is the one sticking out.

I have formatted my computer, reinstalled my OS, checked for virus, unplugged any unnecessary devices, updated my computer and so on.

It really sounds like a hardware problem, seeing as I have reinstalled my OS, but how do I find out which device is failing?

Does anyone have any idea on what to try next?
