Solved Canon Digital Cameras - USB Drivers Do Not Work Through Reboots

[sygnus21]

Sorry; I will go away.

Edit: The service is: Windows Driver Foundation - User Mode Driver Framework

No need to go away, the more people we have looking at this the better. I would like to have the answers to the following questions:

#1 What is the default service start up for the service?
#2 What changed it from AUTOMATIC to *MANUAL?
#3 Why do some cameras start the service but the Canon's DO NOT?
#4 Are there security risks for the service?
#5 Can A/V software or viruses exploit the service?

* MANUAL = Start on demand for this service. We have also noted that it seems (no proof yet) that the install of IE10 and 2 or 3 reboots changes the setting from AUTOMATIC to MANUAL. We are trying to find a few machines that do not have IE10 on them to test this (fortunately or unfortunately all our machines have IE10 on them). -WS

I can't answer all of these, but I seriously doubt Canon, or Nikon for that matter, actually switched that service. And let's not forget, all the other cameras worked, and the home systems worked.

Anyway I'm betting the issue was caused by an update.
