ftdibus.sys is the kernel-mode driver from FTDI (Future Technology Devices International) that allows Windows to talk to their ubiquitous USB-to-serial converter chips (like the FT232). On Windows 11, it’s the digital equivalent of a reliable old diesel engine that’s been shoved into an electric car—it gets you there, but sometimes the dashboard lights flicker for no reason.

This is the dominant issue. Older versions of ftdibus.sys lack modern security signatures required by Windows 11’s virtualization-based security (VBS).
