UHD drivers are installed with the GnuRadio windows installer.  However,
the system may not have located them automatically and so it's installed a
different driver instead that it thinks is compatible.

There are couple UHD utilities in the installation as well... I think they
are under Gnuradio-3.7/share/UHD perhaps?  (Not near my PC).  I would start
with those and confirm if the issue is with the UHD drivers themselves, or
the GnuRadio side.

In there are a couple UHD driver files, and you can go to Control Panel,
Update Driver, and Manual Choose, then navigate to that directory and pick
the *.inf file that is closest.   I suspect this is the issue.

Once it's correct the UHD probe utility should find the device, and it
should show up in Device manager as an "Ettus USRP B205mini" or similar.

Then hopefully GRC will pick that up and work as well.
