Tutorial: How to update a driver that Windows just doesn't want to update
(As always, please improve so everyone benefits from everything you do.)

This tutorial is based on gory details learned in this thread:
o What's the one free Windows 10 driver update tool you prefer most & why?

These screenshots summarize the success achieved after trial & error:

Here is the process I attempted, including failed but noble attempts:
1. Update all drivers that Microsoft feels like updating automatically:
o Win+I Update & Security Windows Update [Check for updates
2. Try to update drivers that Microsoft feels like updating manually:
o Win+R devmgmt.msc System devices LPC Interface Controller
o Driver [Update Driver] Search automatically for drivers
3. Test all drivers for 24 hours to see if any have issues:
o Win+R verifier
4. Search for new drivers using driver identifier freeware, e.g., Dumo:

5. Dumo identified an available LPC Interface Controller driver:
o Current driver: 1.0.50.13
o Available driver: 1.0.64.8

6. Obtain that available driver file from the manufacturer or from MS:

(Note: Hereinafter I will call this file "1.cab" for simplicity.
7. Attempt to install that MS Catalog driver using the Device Manager:
o Win+R devmgmt.msc RMB on "LPC Interface Controller" Properties
Driver Date: 7/16/2012
Driver Version: 1.0.50.13
Press on [Update Driver]
Browse my computer for drivers c:\tmp\cab
[x]Include subfolders
[Next]
But DeviceManager said "The best driver is already installed".
8. Attempt to install that Microsoft cab file using DISM:
o Win+R cmd {control+shift+enter}
DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:"c:\tmp\cab\1.cab"
Error: 0x80070002, Error: 2
The system cannot find the file specified.
(Note: That error is all over the net; nobody knows what it means.)
9. Give up on DISM, and just extract the cab file to the INF file contents
o Win+R cmd {control+shift+enter}
o Expand -F:* c:\tmp\cab\1.cab c:\tmp\cab
That extracts, in my case, the following four files from the cab:
lpcfilter.cat, LPCFilter.inf, LPCFilter.pdb, LPCFilter.sys
10. Right-click install from that INF file which will say it works:
But it's a lie, as it did not work (even after a reboot).

11. In Device Manager, update that driver via the [Update Driver] button
But don't use the "Browse my computer for drivers" (it won't work)
12. Instead, use "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"
Don't ask me the difference because I don't why only this works.
Accept all the dire-warning prompts and reboot thereafter

13. Check the Device Manager to be sure the driver updated

14. Check with Dumo software to be sure the driver updated

Voila!
