Wacom intuos pro not got device driver from windows update
Ok, so I got the Wacon Intuos pro I wanted for few years by now, turn out it got revisioned to a "better" model in 2017 (which I haven't thought was that big of a deal) and that wacom have history upon histories of bad driver support (and technical support),
So I tried to plug it to the computer (which ran on win7 SP1 OS) and aside from getting electricity to chrage the tablet I didn't got any popping bubble from window that tell me it install the device driver, I checked in windows updates, tried to check in the device manger, and nothing.
The new model doesn't come with wireless usb dongel like the 2015 model to cut some funds for the wacom production line, and instead have bluetooth support (will come back to it later),
So after installing wacom driver ofc (which didn't made windows to detect the device) I done some heavy research on Google and found many have this issue, I tried to restart the wacom service, install older version of the driver (can't go that much behind like the 2015 users cause after two downgrades the device don't seem to work with any other update beneath it),
I removed ofc the driver completely with each upgrade/downgrade (no folder registry or leftover files in system32 folder were left (I saw the user's thread in this site from 2015, following it didn't solved my issue)), I also tried to change USB ports and different cable but nothing.
And I talk with wacom support which was nice but clueless like Patrick from Spongebob,
They saw that I already did what they tell people to do (had to do it AGAIN to prove them...)
And even the log I sent them by their request showed that everything was alright in my machine,
I even tested it on another machine with win7 OS with SP1 and got the exact same result, the only thing left they told me to do (aside from going to my warranty or moving me to Microsoft support (talk about irresponsibly..)) was to install All of windows updates,
not any specific one but All,
Since I know what MS did to windows 7 with some of their updates since 2014+ I refused, I need to know the exact update to test it but the wacom support don't even seem to know how to launch the window update app so I didn't got any update number (I also checked online and saw one person with the same issue who claimed he did install all of the updates and nothing changed so don't blame me if I don't trust wacom tech support at this point..),
I was wondering if anyone here know what kind of update Microsoft released since 2014 which update the device detection? I had to install one update for the windows update app in 2016 in order for the client to keep working, but I didn't was forced to install another client update ever since (and some people saying that the last clients updates are shady), I did tried to install some updates that looks like they do something to the device manger but it didn't help.
So any idea what updates I can try or what I can do to solve it?
P.S. I tried the tablet with bluetooth dongel and it worked but still didn't installed driver for the device (so I can use it with the USB cable) and work a bit laggy so I rather use the cable if possible.
