Ah crap, well it would have been too easy if it worked I guess. I'm gonna keep using the ESR version for now then.

I'm wondering that as well, does Auto-Update work after this modification?

Found some Windows 7 drivers : Have you already tried any of these eMMC drivers by any chance ? https://board.eclipse.cx/download/file.php?id=272 The W7 Braswell drivers from 2015 might be compatible with your laptop.

It might also depend on the version of the eMMC card. Comparison Link HERE The way I understood it is that this hotfix may only be useful for eMMC cards version 4.41 (and higher?). Older cards would not require it. But then again this could be a 8.1 problem only... Edit : I just verified and Windows 8 received updates to dumpsd.sys and sdbus.sys through Security/Cumulative Updates all the way until 2019 !! For some reason Windows 8.1 never received any updates to those files beyond 2015. So I guess this hotfix is indeed only needed for 8.1 then. W8 might have had this problem as well back then, but it probably has long since been fixed through regular Windows Updates ! I do wonder now if it's possible to go the other way around -> using those updated W8 files on W8.1 for better support for the latest eMMC versions. Edit 2 : Those updated dumpsd and sdbus file seem only available in the Server 2012 updates.

On Windows Vista and higher there should be no need to manually update those certificates anymore. Like Draker said, the behaviour on these OS since Vista is the same ; Windows checks for Trusted CTL once a week and the Untrusted CTL every day through Windows Update using the automatic daily update mechanism (CTL updater) ! Disabling WU may prevent those certificates from being updated ( I haven't tested it myself so can't confirm) To modify this behaviour (at your own risk) it's possible to change the following registry keys : Enable or disable the Windows AutoUpdate of the trusted CTL: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot] "DisableRootAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000 0 to enable or 1 to disable. This key is not present by default. Without a key present, the default is enabled. Enable or disable the Windows AutoUpdate of the untrusted CTL: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\AuthRoot] "EnableDisallowedCertAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001 1 to enable or 0 to disable. This key is not present by default. Without a key present, the default is enabled.

Not sure if this is useful as it would need to be backported but Microsoft had released a eMMC Hotfix for W8.1 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/emmc-device-is-not-detected-as-a-storage-device-by-windows-8-1-or-windows-server-2012-r2-ee95ef54-081c-135c-f38e-142cc4dbbf14 The hotfix can be downloaded from here : https://thehotfixshare.net/board/index.php?/files/file/20824-windows81-kb3078919-x64msu/ (64bit) https://thehotfixshare.net/board/index.php?/files/file/20825-windows81-kb3078919-x86msu/ (32bit) Contains dumpsd.sys and sdbus.sys and sdbus.inf fileversion 6.3.9600.17931 from July 2015

On Windows 8.1 I was able to install I219-V by force-installing it as I219-LM. Not sure if it works on W7 also. Got the info from this website : https://blog.workinghardinit.work/2017/06/19/installing-intel-i211-i217v-i218v-i219v-drivers-windows-server-2016-eufi-boot/
