Windows (Universal) D2XX driver
« on: November 15, 2021, 05:13:22 PM »

I just saw that a 2.12.36.4U driver appeared on D2XX drivers download page https://ftdichip.com/drivers/d2xx-drivers/.
I wonder what does Universal stands for on a Windows OS? Which are the differences between 2.12.36.4U and 2.12.36.4?

Hi,

The Universal Windows Driver (Windows 10 and Windows 11 only) enables developers to create a single driver package that runs across multiple different device types, from embedded systems to tablets and desktop PCs.

The Windows Desktop driver will suit most users who want to use our products on a Windows PC.

We have just updated the website to include this information.

Best Regards,
