Is this monitor really necessary? Windows has always been able to alert a user to the fact a "hi-speed" (USB 2.0) device is plugged into a 1.0 port. Is it unable to do so for USB 3.0?

@TwistyImpersonator: I'm quite sure it's not necessary. I found many testimonies of people who disabled it with no problem. I only found one which said that without it the mouse was less precise, but which I find hard to believe.

I follow the "not required like a driver would be" argument...but does one forgo all notification that a device is in the wrong port with this monitor?

Your link explains about Renesas Electronics' "USB3.0 Monitor application (rusb3mon.exe/dll)", not about Intel's "iusb3mon". One can only guess they serve the same exact goal, but that's all, a wild guess.

@ThatBrazilianGuy: The Renesas implementation files have the same names as the Intel ones, just with the first "i" replaced, so the two products seem to have a parallel architecture. So I do agree, this is a guess, but there are some facts behind. It would be logical for Renesas to base its implementation on Intel's.
