Advantech How to Install Intel Watchdog Timer Driver for Reliable Performance

3.3 USB driver

If the manufacturer/vendor of a USB device recommends downloading an Intel USB driver update as part of troubleshooting your USB device, please contact Microsoft for USB driver support. Intel manu- factures the host controller but the driver is from Microsoft. While you install the Intel INF driver, it will not install the USB driver. Please go to "device manager" to update the USB driver via the Advantech CD utility or via Microsoft’s website.

Note: There are no separate USB (version 1.1 and earlier) drivers available to download for Intel chipsets.
