Asked By CleverFox27 On

I'm having trouble with a driver called rockusb.sys on my Windows 11 PC. I received a warning saying the driver is incompatible, and I'm unsure how to proceed. Should I delete it, or is there another way to handle this? Any advice would be appreciated!

Just a heads up—before you make any changes, always double-check that you’ve backed up your data! Just in case. If you end up deleting the driver and your device does stop working, you can always reinstall it if you find out which USB device it was connected to. Better to test your backups first to avoid any data loss.

I haven't seen rockusb.sys mentioned before, but it looks like it's associated with devices from Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics. Do you have any unusual USB gadgets connected? Anything labeled with 'rock'? You likely don’t need that driver unless you're using a specific device that requires it. It might be safe to delete it. If a USB device stops working after you delete it, then you’ll know it needed the driver. If everything continues to function, great! It might just be a leftover from something you plugged in ages ago.
