The history
Microsoft has released at 03/08/2017 an undocumented update 'Microsoft – WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM – 5.2.5326.4762' for Windows 7, 8.1, 10. It was an optional update, but no details has been provided.
I recommended to hide this update to my blog readers. Shortly after releasing this update, I received many notifications, that this update kills mobile device detection on Windows machines. After analyzing the update package, I came to the conclusion, that it contains drivers for Android devices. But it ships also a MTP driver library – und this .dll killed mobile device detection (also on Lumias).
I've outlined this topic and a fix within my blog post Windows update: Microsoft – WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM – 5.2.5326.4762. Many users are reporting, that my solution worked.
Fixes from Microsoft
Based on my solution, I also have posted in Microsoft Answer, Microsoft pulled the faulty driver update came a few day later with some instructions to fix this issue. I've blogged about that at Microsoft's Fix for the 'Microsoft – WPD – 2/22/2016 12:00:00 AM – 5.2.5326.4762' driver issue.
