I wish MS would not issue updates that break stuff which worked perfectly well before! (Not your fault, I know, but I just needed a rant.) Please help me remove this IEEE-1284 driver, or at least stop it from loading every time. Option available and ‘properties’ in ‘Devices and Printers’ only has two tabs, ‘General’ (with no options to do anything) and ‘Hardware’ (which only relates to the Brother printer driver and the MS ‘USB Printing Support’ driver (3.0) – ‘usbprint.sys’ I do not want to roll back to pre-update Win10 as this will cause subsequent update problems – and it’s a rubbish, very temporary fix at best. Uninstalling or ‘Removing’ it just means it re-installs itself whenever I plug the cable in. I checked the box that says do not automatically download updates for drivers, but the ‘IEEE-1284 Controller (Unknown category)’ is already on my system and will not leave!

The new cable/drivers, the old IEEE-1284 drivers automatically install as soon as I plug the cable in, regardless of the other driver installation. I assume it’s the 1 st September update as I got everything working again afterĪfter much searching I found that older IEEE-1284 cables often do not work with Win10 so I purchased a new one with Win10 drivers. Windows 10 update stopped my Parallel (IEEE-1284)-USB adapter cable from working.
