USB driver workaround

The SPORTident USB driver released in June 2026 works on all modern versions of Windows, including ARM. The workaround previously documented on this page is no longer needed.

Please download and install the updated driver.

Background

Prior to the June 2026 driver release, the SPORTident USB Windows driver had two known limitations:

  • Windows 11 April 2026 update (KB5083769): Starting with the April 2026 security update, Windows 11 began blocking the old driver as part of a stricter driver signing policy. Affected users would see an error message when connecting a SPORTident device.
  • ARM64 systems: PCs with ARM64 CPUs (e.g. Snapdragon-based Windows Surface laptops) were not supported by the old driver.
