The latter preferred because you can actually find it
when you need a copy. Has added USB3 functions.

The usbview has an obvious name.

The UVC stands for USB Video Class, which is a standard class
driver for webcam like devices. But it just continues to display
config space information like the other one.

Hi Paul,

Even though I had never heard of this "usbview" utility until now...

You convinced me that your suggested USBview is _better_ than the MS one!
o Thank you for being purposefully helpful in your suggestions & advice.

One test alone was sufficient for you to make me into a believer:

a. The Sieber USBview provides far more useful readable output
b. Than does the Microsoft USBview from which it's based upon

For one example, the drive letter of the USB stick is clearly shown
o Where, in the Microsoft USBview, the drive letter is not clearly shown


Another similar tool is USBDeview from NirSoft. It gives the USB
device view in table form which can be saved. If you scroll down a bit
it has command line options to Check if a device is
connected/disconnected or enabled/disabled
