Windows operating systems are unlike any other, and that is why so many people use them. What one of the ways Windows operating system vary from any other operating system is that they rely on programs called drivers to run before things can work.

Two common examples of this are the device drivers and the USB drivers. The Windows operating system needs to have the correct drivers installed before you can connect a device to the computer with the USB cable and have the device communicate with the computer for transferring data or using apps on the computer for the device. You don’t usually have to panic when you connect your mobile device to the Windows computer because the operating system is programmed to automatically find the right drivers for your device and install them. It also does that very fast, and you don’t even know it is happening. Once the drivers are installed the Windows OS then shows a message in the system tray stating that it recognizes your device, and that is when you know the correct drivers are installed.

There are always times when a handful of people don’t have such luck, and those people need to install the right USB drivers for the device manually instead. Koushik Dutta has made the Universal Windows ADB Driver for your to use, and it makes installing the correct drivers a cinch.
