RNDIS Communications Control Driver

The RNDIS Communications Control driver helps Windows communicate with compatible USB-connected equipment that uses Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) for networking. Listed under vendor Ugt in the Other category, this device may need a matching driver if it appears as unrecognized hardware in Device Manager or its USB network connection does not work.

Key Features

• Enables Windows to recognize the RNDIS interface on compatible connected hardware.
• Supports USB-based network communication, such as tethering or device management, where the equipment provides those functions.
• Helps resolve missing-driver warnings when the installed package matches the device’s hardware ID and Windows version.
• Provides driver options listed for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; check each package’s compatibility before choosing one.

How to Install RNDIS Communications Control Driver

1. Identify your Windows version and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. In Device Manager, open the device’s Properties, select Details, and check Hardware Ids to help confirm the correct package.
2. Choose a compatible RNDIS Communications Control driver download for Windows. Look for the latest version that explicitly supports your hardware and operating system. If a package is offered as a free download, still verify its source and publisher before opening it.
3. Download and extract the package if necessary. Connect the device using a data-capable USB cable, and enable its USB networking or tethering mode if the equipment requires it.
4. Run the supplied installer, or right-click the device in Device Manager and select Update driver. Choose the option to browse your computer, then point Windows to the extracted driver folder to install it.
5. Restart the computer if prompted. Check Device Manager for warning icons and test the device’s network connection. If installation fails, recheck the hardware ID and package compatibility rather than forcing an unrelated driver.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses connection problems, stability, or security. For Windows 10/11 systems, check Windows Update and the equipment manufacturer’s support information first; Windows 11 is not included in the listed supported operating systems, so do not assume compatibility. Before a manual update, retain the working driver or create a restore point so you can recover if needed.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or driver is blocked: Run the Ugt installer as administrator. If Windows rejects the INF, use Device Manager → Update driver → Browse → Let me pick → Have Disk and select the vendor INF. Only disable driver signature enforcement if the package is known-good and unsigned.
• Device not detected / no RNDIS adapter appears: Try a different USB data cable and port, set the device’s USB mode to RNDIS/tethering, then scan for hardware changes. Remove stale “RNDIS Communications Control” entries in Device Manager and reconnect.
• Version conflicts, Code 10/31, or duplicate adapters: Uninstall the existing Ugt/RNDIS driver, delete its driver package, reboot, and install the latest vendor version first. Also check that VMware/VirtualBox USB filters are not capturing the device.
