    Yeah, I know I could do that. I probably will have to, but I'm sure there's a more efficient way to do this.

    When you plug a USB device, XP will ask you for a driver to associate with it if it doesn't have one already. I'd like to do this like the pros if I can.

    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!

    sure but as far as i know, there's no commercial stuff who launch an application automatically like that... as i know so far. Usually when you first connect your device it will send you to the software and/or driver installation plahplah.. not much... oh well i can't know every USB device on the market so far so i can be wrong.

    So you don't have any other choice to run something in background. I mean a little few Kbs application wich you add to the Windows Registry list (run, Runonce or else) wich just monitor the VendorId or whatever else, then once you got a match it launch the main application.

    Maybe there's other much elegant way.. now i don't know

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
