Microsoft releases yet another botched driver (WPD)
http://www.ghacks.net/2017/03/09/microsoft-releases-yet-another-botched-driver/
Reports are starting to come in that Microsoft released -- yet another -- mysterious driver for the Windows operating system.
The driver, Microsoft – WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM – 5.2.5326.4762, has been released for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.
At least some users are reporting issues with the drivers, from failed installations to mobile devices no longer being recognized by the Windows machine the update was installed on.
We don't know much about the update; the update is released without a Knowledgebase ID. If you see it when you check for updates on Windows, it is simply listed as Microsoft – WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM – 5.2.5326.4762.
Not much to go by right?

Anybody know if this WPD update is only for 64-bit Win 7 or did MS pull it?
Haven't been offered that one for my Win 7 32-bit PC, but I'll hide it if it does show up.

I wasn't offered it either, on Win 7x32 or 64 or Win 10 - MS has pulled it:
"An incorrect device driver was released for Windows 10, on March 8, 2017, that affected a small group of users with connected phones or portable devices. After installation, these devices are not detected properly by Windows 10, but are affected in no other way.
We removed the driver from Windows Update the same day, but if the driver had already installed, you may still be having this issue."
