Microsoft has released on March 8, 2017 another mysterious update ‘Microsoft – WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM – 5.2.5326.4762’ for  Windows 7, 8,1, 10. Some users are reporting issues with mobile devices after installing this update. Here are a few details.

The abbreviation WPD stands for Microsoft Windows Portable Devices. WPD drivers enables the communication with connected mobile devices and storage media. WPD driver should exchange Windows Media Device Manager (WMDM) and Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) drivers for mobile devices and scanners.

Currently I haven’t found details about that update on Microsoft’s web pages. At TenForums is a longer discussion about this package. Weighting the experiences with previous INTEL driver updates, my recommendation is, to block installation of this package.
