WT(bleep)? Again, reinstalling drivers form zadig did not help, nor did manually purging the USB devices, oem?.inf files and registry entries, followed by a complete reinstall of the drivers & SDRSharp.
#Uninstall zadig driver install
The only changes to the desktop system were automatic installation of Windows updates. Remove the sticks, reboot the laptop, wait 5 minutes for everything to settle in, install the Zadig drivers (like I mentioned before you don't have to have any RTL sticks plugged in to do this, just use all the default settings for the Zadig drivers and it'll install them - they'll be loaded when a matching USB device is plugged in). Lo & behold, neither would run - essentially the same result as above. For grins, I fired up my backup desktop machine which had an identical SDRSharp install on it (not upgraded) plus a working HDSDR install. OK - maybe I inadvertently trashed something unknown. Running zadig to reinstall driver changes nothing. Yet, the driver is is installed (from zadig) and shows up under control panel. I upgraded to the latest and it now says"RTL-SDR is either not connected or its driver is not working". I had not looked at it for a while (1.5 months, maybe).

The older version (411) did run, but stuttered.

One way to remove or uninstall old drivers in Windows 10, is to bring hidden devices to the forefront and then uninstall their drivers. Ways To Neatly Uninstall/ Remove Old Drivers 1. I though I'd upgrade SDRsharp on my netbook (WinXP SP3) to see if newer versions would run a little better. In case updating a device driver doesn’t solve the problem and you wish to uninstall drivers you can follow the steps below. I don't usually do much with the Realtek dongles on win-based systems, and I am less familial with the intricacies of Windows drivers than *nix systems.
