No Apple USB Driver in Windows 10 Device Manager

Is there a way to get the Apple USB Driver back in the Windows 10 Device Manager. I downloaded the iTunes 12.3.3 yesterday and now it is gone.


I have tried

  • plugging in each of my Apple Devices (iPod, iPad, iPhone 4s, iPhone 6)
  • restarting my computer
  • disabling my virus protection software
  • syncing with different cords (some Apple, some not)
  • restarting my devices and trying again
  • uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling
  • uninstalling iTunes and going back to and old version
  • doing a Windows System Restore to a point when I could sync my devices


My main problem is that I need to sync my devices and iTunes won't detect them without the driver. Windows can detect my devices and they show up in File Explorer. I am also able to get photos and videos that I have taken off the devices and onto my computer with no problems.


Any thing else I can try? I'm out of ideas. Thanks!

iPhone 6, Windows 10

This may help:


If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod - Apple Support


See the section:


If you use a Windows PC


and read carefully. Depending on your Windows version the Apple Mobile Device Driver may appear in different places.


Other than that, the general adzice is to tear down EVERYTING associated with iTunes and reinstall. See turingtest2's excellent iTunes for Windows Troubleshooting page at:

especially the section:
