It scans your system and lists all existing and possibly missing drivers. The tool also detects if there is already a new version for current records. If necessary, these can be updated directly via Outbyte Driver Updater.

In addition to Media Feature Pack, several users reported that the Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit can also fix this issue. To solve this problem simply download the Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit and install it.

After disabling driver signature enforcement feature, try to install drivers for your multimedia device manually. For more information on how to do that, be sure to check the first solution of this article.

wpdmtp.inf issues are often the result of corrupted or missing CUBASE 6 device drivers or associated hardware that is malfunctioning. The primary way to resolve these problems manually is to replace the INF file with a fresh copy.

If you've successfully replaced the file in the right location, your issues with wpdmtp.inf should be resolved. We recommend running a quick test to confirm that's the case. You can test the result by running CUBASE 6 application and seeing if the issue still appears.

When I connect my 5D Classic to my Windows computer It usually loads the driver for it so I can use bridge to transfer my images but 2 days ago I needed to transfer images but nothing happened when I connected. I looked to see if the driver had loaded but Windows 7 reports that there is no driver and it can't find it...

I did a web search but Windows reports that it can't find one. What Canon software do i need to reinstall to get the driver? I looked on the support page but there is no mention where the driver is located in the software selections.


With that said, you can still download images if the camera is in the PTP mode. On your camera, this can be done by turning the camera on and putting the camera in the P, TV, AV, or M mode on the round dial up top.


From there, press the MENU button, and scroll down to the listing that says COMMUNICATION. Highlight it and press the SET button, then select PRINT/PTP. Then connect to the computer, turn on the camera and see if the computer gives you options for downloading the pictures.


6. The app automatically searches for all photos and videos that it hasn't imported before and selects them. You can also swipe down on or click each photo and video you want to import or select Select all.

I had the issue when my Canon 5D camera was not detected by my laptop to transfer files.
Canon never produced a driver for x64 systems but this work-around works fine.
I performed these steps and it did solve my problem.

Type wpdmtp.inf in the search bar provided to the right of the address bar in Windows 10.
wpdmtp.inf is a file related to MTP and installing it manually can possibly resolve your issues, especially when you have previously seen the error message A service installation section in this INF is invalid.

Neither do I but I have done it ever since there has been CF cards and never bent a pin. If you are careful you won't bend any pins. I use smaller CF cards (8mb to 16mb) to help prevent lose of photos so I remove them often. The old saying, "Never use a sledge hammer when a tack hammer will work.", is good advice here. Don't be a gorilla and you will be fine.

The only thing I will add to Ernie's advice is to be sure and only buy your CF cards from a reputable retailer because counterfeit cards are very common. A friend damaged her 5D III courtesy of a counterfeit CF card from a well known huge online seller of a wide array of new goods. When I examined the card, it was clearly counterfeit and the "killer" problem was the die used to form part of the card shell was poorly made and one of the holes was too small and slightly offset causing the pin to bend.

The CF mechanical interface will stand up to a high duty cycle if reasonable care is used and you avoid poorly manufactured CF cards. The pins are easily bent if abused so make sure the card is always slid perfectly straight in. The later Cfast and CF Express cards have a more robust mechanical interface designed for higher duty cycle use.

The first version of wpdmtp.inf was released for the Windows Vista Operating System on 11/08/2006 inside Windows Vista. The latest file version for Windows 10 is v10 released on 07/29/2015. wpdmtp.inf is found in Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows Vista.

There are a number of reasons why you could be encountering issues with wpdmtp.inf. Most of the issues concerning inf files involve Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors. These types of wpdmtp.inf errors can be cause by hardware problems, outdated firmware, corrupt drivers, or other software-related (eg. Windows update) issues. Some of these errors include:

GEEK TIP : As a rule of thumb, it's always a good idea to create a Windows "Snapshot" backup / System Restore Point before making any hardware or software changes to your computer. That way, it's very easy to restore your system in the unfortunate event you encounter a wpdmtp.inf Blue Screen of Death error after recent changes.

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your wpdmtp.inf issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

System File Checker is a utility included with every Windows version that allows you scan and restore corrupted system files. Use the SFC tool to fix missing or corrupt wpdmtp.inf files (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many wpdmtp.inf error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate wpdmtp.inf file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free wpdmtp.inf files for every applicable version of Windows. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve wpdmtp.inf problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying wpdmtp.inf to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows INF files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing wpdmtp.inf and all other INF files for Windows. An incorrectly installed INF file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.

It seems that the reason for this is because you are using the N version of Windows. Microsoft explicitly states that some features are effected in this version. Users have reported that the wpdmtp.inf file is missing, and this is why the MTP protocol has error.

Often you first have to install the driver and then connect the device. If you do it the other way around the driver will not be applied correctly. Delete the shown MTP entry and disconnect + reconnect your phone. Also run Windows update with enabled "updates for all Microsoft products".

Regarding adb your new PC is unknown to the device (because the stored adb RSA key has been lost because of the new installation) and therefore it denies adb access (device unauthorized).
You first have to unlock the device (enter pin/password/pattern) and then accept the dialog that asks you if your device is allowed to connect via adb.

And that Odin works at the same time is because Odin uses different drivers. From the perspective of your computer you have 3 USB devices, one for MTP, one for adb and one for Odin. Check it out by selecting the MTP device and then changing the device manager "View" -> "Devices by connection".

Since Windows 10 arrived on the scene, Microsoft kept urging users to upgrade from earlier versions. People were hooked by the promise of a faster, better, more intuitive and modern UI. Naturally, theymade the jump immediately while others tagged along soon after. Overall, it is safe to say that Windows 10 has kept up its own end of the bargain.

MTP stands for Media Transfer Protocol. It is the file transfer mode used by modern Android phones for transferring files to and from a computer. MTP replaced the USB mass storage protocol which was used on older phones running Android. USB mass storage exposed every part of the phone to the computer while MTP is rather more selective.

Nowadays, when you connect your phone to a computer over USB, you can choose between MTP and PTP. PTP stands for Picture Transfer Protocol. When you choose this mode, your phone appears to your PC as a digital camera, and you can transfer photos back and forth. MTP is actually an extension of PTP with added tweaks to accommodate other forms of files and media.

By this point, everyone is used to simply plugging in their phone to the computer and moving whatever they want to and from both devices. So, when MTP fails to work, it is inevitable to wonder what happened. If you want to know the reasons why your Android phone stopped working on your PC, check out some possible reasons here:

Before we attempt to apply solutions on your PC, it is worth checking whether the issue lies with the hardware. If the problem is on the hardware side, no amount of system troubleshooting can help you get rid of the problem.
