WinUSBCoInstaller2.dll  = 1   <=== we need to find out what a "WinUSB" driver is
WdfCoInstaller01009.dll = 1   <=== grease for installing the Windows Device Framework driver

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/usbcon/introduction-to-winusb-for-developers

   "Components of WinUSB

    WinUSB includes:

    A kernel-mode driver (winusb.sys)
    A user-mode dynamic link library (winusb.dll) that exposes WinUSB functions described in winusb.h.
    You can use these functions to manage USB devices with user-mode software.

     By default, winusb.sys is installed in the device's kernel-mode stack as an upper filter driver.
     Apps communicate with the device's User-Mode Driver Framework (UMDF) function driver to
     issue read, write, or device I/O control requests. In this configuration, winusb.sys serves as
     the device stack's Plug and Play and power owner. You can also install winusb.sys as the
     function driver for a USB device.
   "

That doesn't tell me what it does, but I do have that winusb.sys file and
I don't own a phone so it could not have been triggered by
connecting a phone to the PC and a driver getting automatically downloaded.
