Nut upsuser - Jan 2020 - Help needed with NUT installation on Windows 10

Hello,
My setup is a Windows 10 machine, NUT installed from latest MSI.
UPS is Advice PRV650 connected with a USB cable.

I think the relevant log lines are:
C:\Program Files (x86)\NUT\bin>nut-scanner.exe
Cannot load USB library (libusb) : The specified module could not be
found.. USB search disabled.

I have tried to install winusb driver using zadig utility without any
success (the utility says the driver is successfully replaced, but the
error persists).

Any help would be much appreciated

First I have not worked with the Windows version at all. Just a note on
drivers, did you look in device manager to see what it shows as the status
on the device and it's driver?

Have had issues with other gear and signed drivers. It may be Windows being
overly protective.

I had to override driver signature mechanism to install libusb driver, but
the device does not show any errors in device manager.

Is there any way to diagnose/debug this driver? Something that will try to
perform the same actions as NUT, but with very verbose output to see what
exactly went wrong there.
