I have the same problem. It seems like this issue has not been resolved, the driver for Due will not install. Is there any workaround?
I have Windows 10 and have been using Uno with no issues whatsoever. Yesterday I got Due. My IDE is most rescent 1.8.5 and I installed the SAM boards package in Boards Manager. Then from Windows Device manager I tried to install the "Arduino Due Programming Port" driver from C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\drivers\Arduino.inf. The app tries to install the driver but then gives the error message "This device can not start (Code 10)". The "Arduino Due Programming Port" in the device manager now has a yellow triangle and the IDE can not communicate with it and upload any FW.
I turned my anivirus off and tried both USB2 and USB3 ports. Nothing works. Any help please?
