WinUSB feature Request about libwdi HOT 2 CLOSED

We'd need to create a custom driver to do that, as a device can only ever use one driver at any time, so it's either going to be the WinUSB driver or the Mass Storage driver.

Achieving what you want would require creating a WinUSB compatible driver from scratch (since nobody but Microsoft has the sources for WinUSB), and then add as Mass Storage layer that can be toggled on and off (with all the problems this may cause, some of which may very well not be solvable), which would also need to be created from scratch, since there again only Microsoft has the source.

My estimate is that, at best, this would be at least a 9 month full time project with little guarantee of success. That's just not going to happen...

Thank you for your consideration of this feature request. I thought it was
a long shot but thought that I would ask anyway.
