Also, the best time to use the below list is when a USB end-user is troubleshooting a USB issue. The same recommendation applies to all the other above Windows releases. Note that for best results, for example, if you are running Vista Service Pack 1, you will need to download install Vista Service Pack 2 fromīefore installing any of the Vista Service Pack 2 hotfixes. The below list will list all the public hotfixes to each USB core component in release date order for the above Windows releases. If a KB description matches then a USB end-user can download the hotfix the KB references and see if the issue is resolved. If a USB end-user is experiencing a USB issue, he/she can look at the below list and see if any of the KB's description of the issue is similar to what he/she is experiencing. A newer version hotfix will contain all the previous version's fixes meaning that a USB end-user will only have to install the latest hotfix version for a Windows component and have all the fixes done for that Windows component relative to the Windows OS version.

Each Windows hotfix has a version assigned to it in order for the hotfix installer to not install older versions of a Windows USB component over the top of a newer version. Multiple hotfixes can occur to the same Windows component over a period of time and it can be confusing to know what fixes have occurred for a specific Windows USB component. A hotfix will contain a fix to a specific problem found in that Windows component. In this post my goal is to provide a USB end-user with a way to view the most recent USB public hotfixes for the below Windows releases:Īs most Windows users know, Microsoft releases public hotfixes for various Windows components after a new Windows version or service pack is released. I am a software developer on the Windows USB team.
