Bulk Interface is right.
In the window below the left panel should show Realtek 2832U and the right
panel WinUSB(v6.1.7600.16385)
If you see that just click the Install Driver button - and WAIT. It takes
time to load the drivers and it will tell you when complete.

I've removed the Dongle, re booted the PC, re inserted the Dongle anf fired
up ZADIG.
From the Device menu I've selected Bulk, Interface (interface 0)(interface
0)
This results in the Driver slot displaying Driver WinUSB (V6.1.7600.16385
From the selection in the slot alongside, which do I pick?
