koush/UniversalAdbDriver
One size fits all Windows Drivers for Android Debug Bridge.
A Windows USB driver package that lets you use ADB and fastboot with Android devices without hunting down manufacturer-specific drivers. It works by shipping a universal .inf file covering most Android USB vendor IDs. Useful mainly to developers and power users who just want ADB to work without fighting Device Manager.
The .inf approach is the right call — one driver installation handles virtually any Android device without per-manufacturer packages. The installer is simple and the download at adb.clockworkmod.com has been a reliable community resource for years. Shipping pre-built binaries (adb.exe, the DLLs) means it works out of the box without a build step.
Last commit was July 2021 — ADB itself has moved on and the bundled adb.exe is years behind the current platform-tools release, which matters if you need newer features or bug fixes. Binary DLLs checked into the repo (BouncyCastle, Newtonsoft, AdbWinApi) with no way to verify provenance or rebuild from source is a real supply-chain concern. The Visual Studio Deployment Project (.vdproj) for the installer is a legacy format that requires specific VS editions to build, so forking and customizing the installer is painful. There is essentially no active maintenance — open issues and PRs are accumulating with no response.
