Download and Installation of Garmin Mode Device Drivers In order for Garmin Mode USB devices to communicate with a Windows computer, Garmin USB drivers need to be installed. These drivers are not needed for newer Garmin devices that use a USB mass storage or Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) interface. Update the USB driver to the latest version will help to fix this. To Do this Simply right-click on the windows 10 start menu and select Device Manager. Or you can press Win + R, Then type devmgmt.msc and hit the enter key to open Device Manager. Now Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers at the bottom and look for the Unknown Device.

This section describes the generic WinUSB driver (Winusb.sys) and its user-mode component (Winusb.dll) provided by Microsoft for all USB devices.

In versions of Windows earlier than Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2), all USB device drivers were required to operate in kernel mode. If you created a USB device for which the operating system did not have a native class driver, you had to write a kernel-mode device driver for your device.

Windows USB (WinUSB) is a generic driver for USB devices that was developed concurrently with the Windows Driver Frameworks (WDF) for Windows XP with SP2. The WinUSB architecture consists of a kernel-mode driver (Winusb.sys) and a user-mode dynamic link library (Winusb.dll) that exposes WinUSB functions. By using these functions, you can manage USB devices with user-mode software.

Winusb.sys is also a key part of the link between a UMDF function driver and the associated device. Winusb.sys is installed in the device's kernel-mode stack as an upper filter driver. An application communicates with the device's UMDF function driver to issue read, write, or device I/O control requests. The driver interacts with the framework, which passes the request to Winusb.sys. Winusb.sys then processes the request and passes it to the protocol drivers and ultimately to the device. Any response returns by the reverse path. Winusb.sys also serves as the device stack's Plug and Play and power owner.

Note WinUSB functions require Windows XP or later. You can use these functions in your C/C++ application to communicate with your USB device. Microsoft does not provide a managed API for WinUSB.

This section describes how to use WinUSB to communicate with your USB devices. The topics in this section provide guidelines about choosing the correct driver for your device, information about installing Winusb.sys as a USB device's function driver, and a detailed walkthrough with code examples that show how applications and USB devices communicate with each other.

If you installed the SCT device updater before you plugged the device in then this should be easy to fix.

With your device connected:

Open your computers Device Manager.

Look for a device that is not installed like one with a yellow exclamation mark. (Here is a screenshot of what you are looking for.)

If you see this, right click it and select update driver.

A new window should open up and give you the option to either automatically search, or browse for files.

Click browse for files

Navigate to the folder you downloaded, and select “Open”.

If you did this correctly, it’ll tell you your drivers have successfully been updated and once you click “OK” you should see something similar to the picture below.

Now your communication should work between the device and the computer. With most devices, you will want to unplug it and plug it back in and restart the device updater. Then click “Display Device Settings and Serial” and if the serial number shows up, it is communicating.
