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.
