UWP app cannot find/connect to USB device

It seems that I found one way to resolve this, which is a bit stupid, but hey, who asks me anyway...

I came across this one here on stackoverflow: Cannot create UsbDevice from DeviceInformation.Id

And it seems that my issue is indeed resolved when I use a .inf to refer to winusb as the driver. I have no idea why, so if any of you have an explanation, please let me know.

As above answer is referring to a blogpost that does exist anymore (I used the wayback machine to get to it), I'm posting the inf here, in case it helps anyone (but it's an ordinary inf)

Note that I left an arbitrary VID and PID in the driver, but I still have to connect with the VID and PID that the device tells me.
