Samsung WPD 2.14.9.0 driver failing to install

I have the same issue, not solved yet

I've found this FIX: Samsung WPD 2.14.9.0 driver failing to install on Windows but it didn't solve the issue. I don't use Samsung smartphone anymore and I don't even know how to unistall this driver from operating system.

Windows Update started showing this driver update a few days ago, and since then it's failing to install: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. - WPD - 12/4/2018 12:00:00 AM - 2.14.9.0.

I found this on the subject: Windows update offering "Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. - WPD - 2.14.9.0" driver to more devices

It reads:

It’s a Samsung Mobile MTP device driver that is being installed on your PC.

However, it’s not that a new driver version is being rolled out. The version 2.14.9.0 first released in early December 2018. Microsoft appears to be pushing this update to a wider audience now to make sure every Windows machine has Samsung Mobile device driver installed. If you’re receiving this update, chances are you recently connected a Samsung Mobile to your PC over USB.

Yes, I have a Samsung tablet I have connected to my PC a few times.

Any idea how to make it install?

If there's no fix for that in Windows, I will search for ways to get rid of this thing altogether. TIA.

It also happens to me for a few days. The installation was successful
The installation is repeated even if successful.
I have 20 installations successfully
The driver is installed but replicates the installation
I have a samsung smartphone
It also happens on my second desktop PC

No problem
