We discovered that the cause was WinSock initialization. The service that runs the TSP driver used to initialize WinSock itself. Somewhere among Windows 7 updates and definitely in Windows 10, it no longer does that. So a TSP driver that needs WinSock
must initialize it itself instead of depending on the service to do it.
