It's a sign it's not being correctly installed to start with. Uninstall and
reinstall correctly.

Thanks for the update. That's some good news for a change.

One thing about USB connections is that they do require that
instructions be provided and followed for the order in which the drivers
are installed. Some require the peripheral be attached prior to loading
the drivers, some just the opposite.

In general, it is best to look for these types of clarifications of
driver installation before trying to do so automatically.
