Of course Windows blocks the install of the manufacturer chipset, the one that should be on there not the one Microsoft uses but that is Microsoft. I have tried to install other USB 3.0 host controllers but to no avail so far. Of course it also uses a different driver and I cannot keep this card in as it uses up the resources for 2 SATA ports to do so.

I temporarily placed a USB 3.0 PCIEx4 card in and it reaches expected USB speeds somewhere over 100 MB/s. I only have 1 port for that so I am using it for USB 3.0 transfers. My 3.1 speeds are fine but that uses another driver – ASMedia USB3.1 eXensible Host Controller. My USB 3.0 speeds are also at 2.0 levels. On my ASUS ROG Strix x299 motherboard, it uses the Intel driver too. I am starting to believe that this is a large problem with Microsoft. Nevertheless, it has asked me for the password again at least one time since I did that. I tried deleting the credential from Credential Manager, and then entering the username and password when I next accessed it to create a new credential entry. I have a second NAS from a different company that has not had the problem. A couple of times I have had to reenter the password when I tried to access it. The only other issue I have noticed is that the credentials from one of my external NAS drives seem to be lost. By the way, Device Manager showed the device was working even when it was not working before I fixed it. Once I figured out what the problem was (Windows was of very little help), I was able to remedy the issue. I had to download and install a new driver from Focusrite.

After trying many things, I determined that a Focusrite audio interface I attach through USB from time to time was not working. I had a hard time figuring out what this was about. When I did the upgrade, I did get a message in the notifications area to Finish installing driver. I suspect your device is probably working correctly. That is the day I upgraded from Windto 2020. It says it has a Microsoft driver, as noted in the attached file. I have this device on my Dell Precision Laptop, and I did not get any error messages when I upgraded to 2020.
