Will this work also with Intel and Asmedia USB 3.0/3.1-drivers on a Win10x64 with Z97-K ?
Will it give us more transfer-speed ? We have now about 120MB/sec , this means 20GB copy to external HDD in about 4 minutes.
If we have clear answer on these two questions , we will certainly try !

I did not look at his text of xml-file. I was hardwired to forced installation for controller and not-forced - for hub, so I did not offer this to try.
Ok, so we can abandon script file then?

Why should it not work?

You should test it yourself. If you are not satisfied with the speed of the Intel driver, you can reinstall the generic MS ones.

But ASMedia bundle has its own installation app, right?
I mean this thread has nothing to do with non Intel USB devices.

Yes indeed Asmedia has its own USB 3-drivers , but Intel is also involved in USB 3 !

We need more test results before we can decide this. Maybe we will need your script for problematic (Mobile) systems.

@all:
For those, I want to test Zwulf's method, I have attached an already prepared driverpack, which will be usable with Win8.1 x64 and Win10 x64.
It contains my mod+signed 64bit Intel USB 3.0 drivers v5.0.1.38 with Zwulf's DPInst.xml file.
The driver installation can be done by simply doing a right click onto the DPInst64.exe and choosing the option "Run as Administrator".
Good luck!

May be worth to post in main USB thread?

You are right.
Tomorrow I will add my report (with the steps I have done) and the link to the 32/64bit driverpacks to the main USB drivers thread.

Still useful tool. You can offer it to guys in confusion/trouble to receive report on devices for troubleshooting times.
Also it can help in your experiments with devices and drivers.

@mbk1969:
Thanks for the link to the DevCon tool, which seems to be very interesting.
I will test it as soon as possible.

Receiving such results means that it is not a mandatory - to update Controller drivers with force option (i.e. have disk option in Device manager), right?
The installation has been forced by Zwulf's code of the XML file.

Just to make thinks clear:

<forceIfDriverIsNotBetter/> DOES NOT FORCE DRIVER INSTALLATION FOR UNSUITABLE DEVICES.

It means: If you have allready installed a driver in lets say in version 5.0 and you are currently trying to install a driver in version 4.6, which is not "better" (in terms of "newer"), then version 4.6 will be installad regardlessly, because the forceIfDriverIsNotBetter switch is activated. In case this switch is not set, version 5.0 is keepd and the installation of version 4.6 is omitted.

Thanks. Unfortunately this knowledge (about driver installation for unsuitable devices) can be achieved only by testing because MS description in MSDN is quite vague.

True. Some searching later -> some more specific and more quallified information:

- Overview of the Driver Selection Process
- How Windows Ranks Drivers
- Driver Rank Example

So, driver date and version are only considered when there are drivers with equal ranking values. My apologies for my earlier statement. You never stop learning.
