Please make sure your battery is fully charged before installing this driver pack. For most batteries the charge must be 100% as the phone may shutdown during setup if the battery is even at 80% charge.
Make sure battery is charged to 100% before continuing. If this is not the case, reboot your device now and charge it in an Operating System.

  • Open a command prompt as administrator, where the driver utility got downloaded

  • If your device is a Lumia 950 XL, execute the following command:
