I have a custom UMDF smartcard driver which I can succesfully install with DPInst:
dpinst.exe /f mydriver.inf
When I uninstall it:
dpinst.exe /d /u mydriver.inf
the default Windows smartcard driver (Microsoft Usbccid Smartcard Reader (WUDF)) fails to load afterwards. It shows the yellow exclamation and its device status says:
The device cannot start. (Code 10)
This behaviour occurs in all Windows versions from Vista to Windows 10.
When I uninstall the driver through Device Manager the default driver succeeds to load afterwards and everything works fine.
I provide the SetupAPI install and uninstall logs (C:\Windows\Inf\setupapi.dev.log):
