Thank you Fernando but what I tell you before is wrong. I suggest you delete the modded drivers with wrong Date.

The driver replacement is not caused for the Date is caused for the RANK, more precisely for the Feature score. I tested the moded drivers with the wrong dates and the "Intel (R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller" driver is still replaced with the inbox driver, so I went and read on the MS website and found the following:

How Windows Selects Drivers
1. Lowest Rank
2. In equal rank: Most Recent Date
3. In equal rank and date: Highest Version
4. In equal rank, date, and version: Any Driver

Driver Rank
DWORD value formatted as: 0xSSGGTHHH[hex](Lower is better).
In Device manager is showed in the "Driver category" string.

VALUE: SCORE: Ranks a driver based on:
0xSS0000000 1.SIGNATURE: Whether its signature is trusted.
0x00GG0000 2.FEATURE: The features that the driver supports.
0x0000THHH 3.IDENTIFIER: The type of match between the Device's ID and the INF's DeviceID.

SIGNATURE score (Starts with Windows Vista)
AllSignersEqual Group Policy:
*Disabled (Vista/Server2008 Default): Authenticode signature is ranked Lower than a MS signature, even if the driver is, in all other aspects, a Better match.
*Enabled (Win7+ Default): All signed drivers are ranked Equally.

FEATURE score
Is set in the INF file:
[DDInstallSectionName] (Name of the DDInstall section)
FeatureScore=XX (Byte[hex](0x00-0xFF))

NOT specified=0x00FF0000 (NO preference)[Default]
Best=0x00000000 (Lower is better)

---

So, if we look at the Ranks of the drivers we see that the Intel driver is ranked poorly (FF) in the Feature score value because in it's INF file is not specified a FeatureScore value and Windows assigns the default (lowest). In the other hand the MS driver has a better value (80) and thats why it replaces the Intel driver, because it has preference (00FF2001 > 00802005).

If we look at the MS's INF file (usbxhci.inf) we see the following:

[Generic.Install.NT]
CopyFiles = Generic.CopyFiles, TrustletCopy
AddProperty = Generic.AddProperty
ExcludeID=PCI\VEN_1B73&DEV_1000&CC_0C0330
ExcludeID=PCI\VEN_1B73&DEV_1400&CC_0C0330
ExcludeID=PCI\VEN_1B73&DEV_1009&REV_00
; FeatureScore values between 0x00-0x7F are reserved. Values 0x81-0xFE are for OEMs.
FeatureScore=80
 

So the solution should be to add a Feature score Value in the Intel's INF file (iusb3xhc.inf) equal or lower than "80". I think it should be like this in the 3rd row:

[IUsb3XhcModel]
CopyFiles = IUsb3XhcModel.CopyList
FeatureScore=00
 

I think "00" should be future proof. And that will be all. I hope it can be possible, and in this way the Driver's Date, Version or whatever, remain untouched.

EDIT by Fernando: The post has been partly re-formatted by me (to save space and for a better readability).

Yes I read it before and copy it because I want every one read it too.

I think MS is pushing hard it's USB3.0 / 3.1 drivers so that the manufacturers develop their devices with their model drive, avoiding fragmentation of devices working for one model and not for others, because I think that is not normal that MS specifies that value in the string entry in its INF files and surely is keeping out the manufacturers to make compatible USB 3.0 / 3.1 drivers for Windows 8+ for the same reason through contracts or clauses.

So I do not think "reserved" is really something bad, maybe is it's way to keep away the developers of puting its drivers front.

After installing the driver (64bit DPInst Set with Intel USB 3.0+3.1 Drivers v5.0.4.43 mod+signed by Fernando) in the tray, there appeared an icon Extract" Intel Root Hub (R) USB 3.1 ", how to remove it.
My current System:
MB: Asus Maximus VIII Hero Alpha (Z170), CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K, Disk Drives: 256 GB Samsung 850 PRO, Graphics: ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1060, OS: Win10 Pro x64

Yes, I meant the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon, I just do not have Usb devices attached to it, there was no icon with standard drivers.

I tested your modded Intel USB driver, and can confirm that they worked like a charm and you made the right decision by adding the value to the 3 drivers since in this way the 3 will be irreplaceable.

1st. You added flawlessly the FeatureScore value in the 3 drivers, and I do a remark in the eXtensible host controller INF where I did not even realize that there was another DDInstallSection that need the value too, the [IUsb3XhcModelServer], so I can confirm to everyone that the modded Intel USB driver that Fernando offer to us is exactly the original one but with 2 simple modifications, the TargetOSVersion for installing it in any 64-bit Windows OS and now the FeatureScore value, so congratulations to him.

2nd. I tried the latest mod and can confirm that they work very well like we spected. The drivers now are not replaced never!, does not matter the driver updates and if you uninstall the devices (as long as you do not delete the driver software) they are allways installed again. I just missed check a Windows 10 Version update but I suspect that will behave the same.

3rd. In my machine the drivers work very well, they enter and exit from the Power states just fine, recognize fine the atached usb devices, read and write well at good speed and in general its behavior is stable. Besides this I checked the information and values the drivers reports in the Device manager and I say that anything is the same that without the FeatureScore value (except obviously for the FeatureScore value itself) so I really think that it is only used to rank the devices.

And thats all, I really thank to you Fernando for your patience and effort, it is really apreciated.

EDIT: I forgot to say that my system is a Windows 10 64-bit version 1803 laptop with Hardware IDs:
PCI bus=ACPI\VEN_PNP&DEV_0A08
Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller=PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F35&SUBSYS_09341025&REV_0E
Intel(R) USB 3.0 Root Hub=IUSB3\ROOT_HUB30&VID_8086&PID_0F35&REV_000E&SID_09341025
USB Composite Device=USB\VID_04F2&PID_B47F&REV_4051

Is there any benefit from the original microsoft set ?(It has 2018 driver date).

Intel 7 series.

@Fernando . Unfortunately i couldn't boot at all with these drivers on msi fastboot. It was keep repairing my system on startup and reboot. The problem lies with the PCI Bus driver on system devices(drivers on "Switch Driver" folder). The other problem is that the "hub driver" replaces my usb root hub 3.0 device but also the usb root hub 2.0 device(with dpinst64).Controller driver didn't seem to have any problem. I had to delete all the drivers of this package to have msi fast boot working again with no problems.
PC:
MSI Z77AG45
Intel i5 2500k
HD7850 2GB GIGABYTE
8GB DDR3
WINDOWS 10 64 BIT 17134.228

I'm having the same problem (I think): If I install the latest USB 3.0/3.1 driver set on my ASUS FX502VM, the mouse and keyboard stop responding and when I restart (using the power button to shut down first), it gets stuck into a boot loop. Thankfully System Restore works to get things back into a working state. I'm not sure what MSI Fastboot is, but I don't have my ASUS laptop configured in any special way.
