In this post, you will learn how to download and update Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller driver in Windows 10 if you have to install the driver manually. There are 2 ways introduced here you can use to download the official Intel USB 3.0 drivers.
Has anyone had an issue with the ASMedia USB drivers making nothing work?
When a Microsoft backed driver (0.96 Microsoft) is installed, the headset works for about 5 minutes before crashing with an error in the Device Manager, and if you update the driver to a more recent version, the Mixed Reality Portal gives you error code 2181038087-12 because the driver is not licensed by Microsoft.
This seems like a common error from what I can see on the forums/quick googling but no one seems to have a solution. Hoping to get some traction here.
Thanks in advance!
