Anniversary Win10 update lost my DC-1 driver

[Percussionista]

I just did the anniversary update for Win10 and although it seems to see the DC-1 (Connected Devices under Settings list it as "USB2.0 High-Speed True HD Audio"), it also says "Driver is unavailable" and it doesn't show up in my list of possible output audio devices.

If this is going to happen every time there is a major build/update this is going to be most annoying - the major updates are annoying enough as they are relatively slow, doing all those reboots, etc.

I can of course re-install those Win10 drivers but that is also quite annoying as you have to turn off the feature where Win10 only wants signed drivers. Is there any chance we are going to get some signed drivers to avoid this? Not plug-and-play ;-)

Ok, so... I went through it all again and am up. First thing I did was to try and install the driver and see if it failed because of the unsigned driver check. But, the first thing it wants to do is UNinstall the driver - it either seems to have the driver (somewhere but not connected to the DC-1) or because it sees the DC-1. So, I go through the uninstall, and reboot. Now try and install again - you guessed  it, that fails due to being an unsigned driver. So went through the whole enchilada of selecting secret incantations and multiple reboots to turn off Win10 insisting on a signed driver. Finally, do the install and it works.

So... is there any possibility that I could have avoided most of this by somehow finding the driver and connecting it up to the DC-1 - that assumes of course it was still living on my machine, just not connected.

I also wonder, does MS go around disconnecting drivers that aren't signed when it does a major upgrade?

I did the Win10 update this morning and I didn't lose my DC-1 driver.
