Yes. The post might explain why the device is popping up as new, but it doesn't explain the reinstallation of an already existing, installed driver that's identical because it was just installed a minute ago when the USB device was on a different port.


The driver isn't being reinstalled. A second device is being set up.

Remember, due to vendors producing devices which share IDs with different devices, Windows can't assume that a device on a different port reporting the same device ID is the same device or works with the same driver.
