Always state what you did to fix it, helps others who may hit the same snag .

Glad you're back up and running

You are right. Just clicked find driver via windows update. Nothing happened. Then just realise windows update shows prefered updates option. Entered there it shows google inc drivers. Clicked install and it works.

Felt dumb tho ?

Nah no need to feel bad, obvious place doesn't always spring to mind

Windows 10 - install unsigned fastboot drivers

I have just registered here so I can add some information on how I got past the issue of fastboot not working on windows 10

I found that the fastboot drivers would not install because they were unsigned.

I was able to install unsigned drivers by following these steps:

1. Click the Start button, choose the Power button, press Shift and click Restart.
2. After Windows enters WinRE, go to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings >Restart.
3. To install driver without digital signature, press F7 to choose the Disable driver signature enforcement option.

After allowing Windows 10 to install unsigned drivers, fastboot finally worked for me after installing the unsigned drivers.

Oh, and fair warning... I didn't realise this before unlocking my bootloader.... The phone (oneplus 8 pro) gets wiped. Very frustrating!
