Description
While the raspi boots, Windows complains that "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." Once finished booting, the RNDIS adapter is functional and ready for use, but it would be nice to get rid of this "malfunction". My guess is that one of the kernel overlays needed for USB gadget support (dwc2 or libcomposite) is being loaded too soon, but who knows.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Raspberry Pi boot configuration and the dwc2/libcomposite overlay loading mentioned in the issue. Reproduce the boot with Windows attached, then verify that Windows no longer reports a malfunction while the RNDIS adapter remains functional after boot.
