We had a major storm through here recently and we suffered damage to the house roof and ceilings. I just received the quote to repair. I’m hoping that a small fraction of the 80,000 odd people that download SDIO and/or Desktop Info every month won’t mind chipping in a few dollars to help out.

Different amount of drivers in different versions

Hello,

 

I have been using SDIO R817 for quite some time which worked fine. Then updated to version R822 which I believe had a bug and found no drivers at all for any model. Then version 823, that one found only around 2 drivers for PC's where version R817 finds 20+ drivers. Now tested R824 and it's the same as 823, only finds around 2 drivers when 817 finds 20+

Why is that? Do I need to keep using version 817 forever?
Windows version used is Win11 24H2 and 25H2.

Why is that?

because 817 was not identifying win11 at all. after that i started work on win11 support. it took a few shots to get it right. Now you are most likely seeing win11 drivers on your win11 machine instead of seeing win10 drivers and not seeing win11 drivers. You will know that drivers targeted to win11 will most likely be better on a win11 machine than drivers targeted to win10. However in lieu of a proper win11 driver, a win10 driver may well suffice. That's your choice. If you really need a driver for a specific device on your win11 machine and SDIO hasn't suggested any, you may care to switch SDIO to win10 and see if there are any drivers targeted to that version that may be suitable.

Once again, it's your choice. I'm not here to hold your hand.
