Why is CyUSB Obsolete?

[NoahP]

I am changing code on a Visual C# application used for bootloading PSoC devices. I heard that CyUSB is obsolete, and am wondering why.

Why is CyUSB obsolete, but there is not much discussion about this? Is it just no longer being maintained?

If it is obsolete, what will CyUSB not work with? What is it about newer PCs that makes us need to convert to Windows HID API?

Thanks.

I don't have an actual answer to the main question,  my guess is that it's simply no longer maintained, but if you're looking for HID options in C#, I've found HidSharp to work pretty well.

I'm kind of amazed there's no official Microsoft API for C#.  iirc a HID API exists for UWP (which I think they're ditching?  I recall hearing something to that effect at some point) but nothing else.

That thread is similar I guess, but I already know CyUSB DLL is obsolete. I was wondering why it is obsolete. What about it makes it obsolete?

It is no longer being maintained.
