Describe the solution you'd like
Currently flashing firmware with resotre on windows requires libusb to be installed, should I be able to get away with not relying on it if I already have ituens device services installed? For example, idevicerestore.exe is fine, but pymobiledeviace3 still needs to install the libusb driver for the device again.
The idevicerestore is working fine as long as the device service for itunes is installed, would it be possible for pymobiledeviace3 to do the same?

libusb is the backend for the USB communication. idevicerestore is statically linked with the same libusb. I don't see any other option

I've roughly skimmed through it, and src/libirecovery.c uses setupapi instead of libusb in windows, so it works fine in windows without relying on libusb.

I'm not familiar with setupapi, but feel free to submit a PR
