Default Do Windows experts exist who know how to make the Windows libmtp port work?

The problem I'm running into is that the INF file that libusb created
is apparently "unsigned", where I've never dealt with this problem before.

Here's what happened when I tried to set up LibMTP on Windows 10 just now.

1. I already had the latest libusb device driver binary package installed:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=78138
C:\app\network\libusb\
2. I plugged in my Android device (LG Stylo 3 Plus) and ran
C:\app\network\libusb\bin\inf-wizard.exe.
That asked me to select my device to save the resulting inf file.
NOTE: I hit "install now" but that just gave me the error of:
"System policy has been modified to reject unsigned drivers".
This created a 144-line detailed LG-TP450.INF file.
C:\app\network\libusb\LG-TP450.INF
3. Since I'm 64-bit, I copied these two files
FROM: C:\app\network\libusb\amd64\libusb0.dll
TO: C:\app\network\libusb\libusb0.dll
and
FROM: C:\app\network\libusb\amd64\libusb0.sys
TO: C:\app\network\libusb\libusb0.sys
4. I started the Windows Device Manager (Start Run devmgmt.msc OK)
And I noticed that I had the following entry for my phone.
Portable Devices LG Stylo 3 Plus
5. I selected the Android device from the list and clicked
Action - Update Driver,
I chose "No, not this time" if prompted to connect to Microsoft.
6. I chose "Install from a list or specific location".
7. I chose "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install
8. I clicked the "Have Disk..." button in the bottom right corner
9. I browsed to the .inf file and selected it & pressed OK
C:\app\network\libusb\LG-TP450.INF
10. The name of your Android device appeared in the prompt,
I clicked it and clicked "Next"
(I can't ignore the prompts about Driver Signing,
to continue installation of the selected driver).
It says "Update Drivers - LG Stylo 3 Plus"
"Windows encountered a problem installing the drivers for your device"
"Windows found drivers for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install them."
"LG-TP450"
"The third-party INF does not contain digital signature information"
11. There is no "Finish" buttne; just a "Close" button.

It seems digital signing is preventing C:\app\network\libusb\LG-TP450.INF
from installing properly (which I've never had to overcome before).
