Look for your USB display device (it may appear as "USB Video" or similar under "Universal Serial Bus controllers")

Step 2: Update Driver

Right-click on the USB display device

Select "Update Driver"

Choose "Browse my computer for driver software"

Step 3: Manual Driver Selection

Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

Click "Have Disk"

Browse to the installation folder: C:\Program Files\Win USB Display

Select the appropriate .inf file for your system

But I don't manual driver selection, because V41 in link filetype .exe ( different .inf filetype ). Driver can't see filetype .exe and can't updated driver manual

May 29 '25 16:05 Quytaki

Ok, I change driver from device manager, but driver can't run it

May 29 '25 16:05 Quytaki

Hey @AhmedUZaki, I will install it and thank you very much, even though the screen seems to only run at 30fps, that's more than enough for me. Because I was using version 2. before so maybe I misunderstood what you meant

May 29 '25 17:05 Quytaki

You're very welcome, @Quytaki ! Yes, if you were using version 2 before, that might explain the confusion. And 30fps should definitely be smooth enough for most tasks. Let me know if you need any help during the installation!

yep it's true. Can't have expected more a device I bought for ~2$

Jun 10 '25 09:06 Quytaki

Hello, could you please tell me how you solved this problem? I'm going through the exact same thing right now. To continue with the steps indicated by AhmedUZaki, I need to know where I can get the INF files from, as I'm stuck at this step. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me the file i found is V41 in link filetype .exe ( different .inf filetype ). Driver can't see filetype .exe and can't updated driver manual

To find msUsbDisplayDriver.inf, go to C:\Program Files\Win USB Display\msUsbDisplayDriver

Jun 29 '25 17:06 AhmedUZaki

OMG F Genius, all is working properly now. Thanks you

Jun 29 '25 21:06 Fenhoussen

You're welcome, enjoy.

@AhmedUZaki I select USB Composite Device and then update driver but have a problem

First, disconnect the USB cable, reconnect it, and note the change in Device Manager.

Then repeat the steps again for the device that appeared after reconnecting.

Jul 30 '25 14:07 AhmedUZaki

@AhmedUZaki I have tried but was unsuccessful and still encountered the same error when trying to update the driver for the USB Composite Device. When I selected the .inf file, I got an error like the one shown above

Jul 31 '25 01:07 longdq01

@AhmedUZaki @longdq01 I also received the same error when trying to follow this step by step. I think it's a problem with the adapter, which is not compatible with this version.
