Ooops. I skipped a step by mistake, where the intent of this tutorial is to
provide _all_ the commands which are _supposed_ to work, whether or not
they actually worked for me (because they may actually work for you).
a. To be clear, some commands failed outright
b. Others "said" they worked, but they actually failed.
c. By persevering, I finally found the commands that worked.

Here is the stop I skipped, between step 10 & 11:
o Using an INF File to Install a File System Filter Driver
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ifs/using-an-inf-file-to-install-a-file-system-filter-driver>

That suggests either just right clicking on the "inf" file 
and selecting "Install" from the context menu, or, running:
o rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132
c:\tmp\cab\LPCFilter.inf

Trying the first method, I right clicked on the INF & pressed "Install"
and it said, "The operation completed successfully".
o <https://i.postimg.cc/rF06Wb14/driver02.jpg>
Hmm. That was easy. Too easy perhaps. Let's check:
o Win+R > devmgmt.msc > System devices > LPC Interface Controller
Clicking on the "Driver" tab shows the version still 1.0.50.13
So did Microsoft lie to me? Dunno. Probably. Perhaps. Dunno.

Maybe I need to reboot. 
o So I reboot and check again but no dice on the update.
  Microsoft lied.

I never did run the second method because I found step 11, 
so this is the step missing between step 10 & step 11:
o Win+R > cmd {control+shift+enter}
o rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 c:\tmp\cab\LPCFilter.inf
