If USB Synopsys Controller fails to start, the failure details will be recorded into Event Log. Then Windows 11 should boot up and notify the user about the ufxsynopsys service startup failure.

Dependencies

USB Synopsys Controller cannot be started, if the USB Function Class Extension service won't start.
