As of 2025, there are no official announcements regarding native U-706 support in future Windows builds. The driver relies on the legacy dinput8.dll (DirectInput) architecture. Microsoft is pushing GameInput (the new API). However, the U-706 driver acts as a translation layer. Expect the driver to work on Windows 12 via compatibility mode, but you may need to use a wrapper like x360ce (Xbox 360 Controller Emulator) to translate DirectInput to XInput.
