Of course! I do own other controllers! There are just some games that don't seem to recognize newer controllers the same way (the original Mortal Kombat being one of them). I'm not saying that my issue is common and I realize that I'm putting this issue on myself, I just mentioned it because it's a situation that highlights why their "solution" to the problem they have is more of a workaround rather than an actual fix. As others have pointed out, the correct "solution" is to de-prioritize their own drivers. It's their driver and their OS. They could even have a flag that's set in the driver for OS that also affects priority.

Is the driver signed?

If not, you might be able to do some hex editing if you can find the location for the date, and bump it to newer than the windows date.

To find the manufacturer:

1) Have you tried Googling the hardware ID

2) Take a photo and do a Google reverse image search

> 2) Take a photo and do a Google reverse image search

Does this really work most of the time? I'm typically only doing this to find the source(or more information) about an image I've found online.

From what I can tell, the "solutions" presented here don't actually solve anything, make things a lot more complicated, and just open new cans of worms. For niche cases there are always good workarounds.
