Additional instructions for Windows 10:
It has been found that the installation of Windows 10 does not always go smoothly. The Windows 8 instructions above will get you very far. In many cases, SDR-sharp does not appear to recognize the dongle.
For Windows 10 there is only 1 addition to the above instructions to make everything work: After installing the Zadig driver, from the zadig installation folder copy the file RTLSDR.DLL to the folder where you have sdrsharp.
When you now start sdr-sharp, the dongle will be recognized!
