Hello Peter,

Thank you for clarifying the topic. I have some minor note to add.

There is now an alternative called UsbDk [1] which is similar to
filter driver of libusb-win32 but is supposed to be more reliable.

It should allow using whatever vendor driver and automatically
"borrow" the device for libusb applications when needed.

Unfortunately, the UsbDk backend in libusb can't coexist with WinUSB
backend, it's selected during the configuration stage.

One can try the UsbDk-enabled libusb by means of using libusb-usbdk
package in MSYS2.
