2. Go to your Windows device manager, in the top menu select "View" the "Show hidden devices)
3. You should see the previous STM32 Bootloader driver at the bottom of the list under "USB devices" (not USB Controller)
4. Right click on it and select uninstall or remove, make sure you selected "remove associated files"
5. Unplug the KISS FC and plug it in again, still with the boot jumper bridged

Windows should now see a new device and offer to install a driver for it.
Just follow the steps, Win will download and install a new bootloader driver for the STM32 and show it in both the device manager and the DfuseDemo tool.
