ADB Driver And Windows 8.1
Answer :
UPDATE: Post with images ➤ English Version | Versión en Español
If Windows fails to enumerate the device which is reported in Device Manager as error code 43:
- Install this Compatibility update from Windows.
- If you already have this update but you get this error, restart your PC (unfortunately, it happened to me, I tried everything until I thought what if I restart...).
If the device is listed in Device Manager as Other devices -> Android but reports an error code 28:
- Google USB Driver didn't work for me. You could try your corresponding OEM USB Drivers, but in my case my device is not listed there.
- So, install the latest Samsung drivers: SAMSUNG USB Driver v1.7.23.0
- Restart the computer (very important)
- Go to Device Manager, find the Android device, and select Update Driver Software.
- Select Browse my computer for driver software
- Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
- Select ADB Interface from the list
- Select SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface (this is a signed driver). If you get a warning, select Yes to continue.
- Done!
By doing this I was able to use my tablet for development under Windows 8.1.
Note: This solution uses Samsung drivers but works for other devices.

Use the awesome "Universal ADB (Android Debug Bridge) Driver for Windows": https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/BQ5iYJEaaEH https://github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver
- Windows 8 compatible
- comes signed, so does not require you to turn off windows driver signature checks
Tested under Win8.1.1 x64.
There is lots of stuff on this topic, each slightly different. Like many users I spent hours trying them and got nowhere. In the end, this is what worked for me - I.e. installed the driver on windows 8.1
In my extras/google/usb_driver is a file android_winusb.inf
I double clicked on this and it "ran" and installed the driver.
I can't explain why this worked.
