I agree 100%. I have been trying the Windows 10 release just to see if it is any better and so far it has the same issue. I doubt I will upgrade. Think I may go to Ubuntu or Mint. I just need to find one more program for my needs in Linux and I'm gone.
The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load

These show up on Device Manager as:
Disk Drives: as Generic USB SD Reader, CF Reader, xD/SM Reader and MS REader
and under
Portable Devices as E:\ through H:\
Device Status shows as Device Working Properly
Before you ask: earlier today I ran
sfc /scannow
Dism/Online/Cleanup-Image/RestoreHealth
full scan Windows Defender
full scan Malwarebytes
NO new hardware or software since Windows 8.1 upgrade
all Windows Updates
Any help would be appreciated as I slowly go through the MULTIPLE Event Logs caused by my recent UPGRADE to Windows 8.1

2015-07-21T18:51:08+00:00 Here we are in July, 2015, and still no response from Microsoft.
WHAT THE HELL IS THE PROBLEM MICROSOFT? HOW MANY SCREAMS DO YOU NEED TO HEAR BEFORE YOU FIX THIS???????Here we are again, Microsoft is unresponsive (nothing new there) and unhelpful (equally not new) on an issue that people have been complaining about since the beginning of Windows 8.1 - and nothing.THANK YOU FOR SHOWING YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR USERS. AGAIN.

Device SWD\WPDBUSENUM\_??_USBSTOR#Disk&Ven_Generic&Prod_USB_Flash_Disk&Rev_1.00#12AB000000766&0#{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b} requires further installation.

2015-05-28T03:37:37+00:00 I have this exact issue and my event viewer looks just like this. I did not have a problem until Windows upgraded to 8.1. This has happened on two desktop computers and apparently is quite a common issue with 8.1. On one computer I would get a BSOD to go with this error. On the latest, my screen just goes black and I can't do anything but shutdown power and reboot. I have thoroughly checked all drivers and updated as needed. None of this has helped. It is getting quite annoying. By the way, I AM A+ certified and have installed EVERY Microsoft operating system they have ever made. So I am pretty sure I know what I am doing. I have only had this issue with Windows 8.1 on both of these desktops. Windows 7 works fine.
I guess since Microsoft is coming out with windows 10, they don't give a damn about windows 8.1.
