The reason is if there were failures during downloading the updated firmware, the device can abandon the update and boot the device into its firmware update mode again and the firmware update can be retried.

The firmware update process can fail for various reasons. If that happens, when the device is enumerated again, the firmware update driver may try to update the firmware again and may fail again and this update process could end up in a loop. The firmware update driver must put an upper limit to the number of retries it can perform.

When the firmware update retries gets beyond a threshold for example, 3 retries then the filter driver should not attempt to update the firmware again, until a new version of the driver is downloaded from WU.

The firmware update driver may use the registry to persist the retry states. Both methods of firmware update, the device function must be stopped before performing the firmware update. This ensures there are no open handle to the device and avoids any OS restart requirement. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported. Download Microsoft Edge More info.
