libwdi:debug [syslog]     Searching Windows Update has been disabled for the Update Wizard.
libwdi:debug [syslog] !    ndv:      Policy has been set to prevent searching Windows Update for drivers.`

You probably want to fix that. Clearly, the internal Windows driver installation process (which is what libwdi/Zadig is relying on) is complaining that you altered your Windows settings to prevent Windows Update search. And as a result, libwdi/Zadig cannot guarantee proper installation.

The fact that you get error code 0x000004c7 (ERROR_CANCELLED) returned by ndv, which is the part of the system that is also warning you about not being able to contact Windows Update appears to indicate that it is that specific system policy that is your issue, and that you will need to fix that.

I think this issue can be closed since it is not a libwdi issue.
