There seems to be a tremendous bug in Windows 10 whereby class compliant USB Midi devices are not recognized properly (read as composite devices instead of USB Audio devices, and with an error flag in Device Manager) or are recognized but cannot communicate to DAW programs that are supposed to use them.
I have searched for hours, and found nothing but many, many threads of frustrated users. Help options seem to be limited to useless generic posts about contacting the device manufacturer (even though this issue occurs on TONS of devices and again, these are class compliant devices) or trying Windows troubleshooting or repair (but this is an inherent bug, so there's nothing to fix).
Is there any hero out there who has solved this problem? Or anyone with some kind of access to a higher level of tech support? I don't imagine the fix would really be that difficult for dedicated high-level MS engineers, but it's clear that no one has solved this yet and it's a major Windows 10 shortcoming.
I've just spent $800 on a new Windows 10 PC, and am very frustrated to find I can't use my keyboard anymore without spending another $50 on a MIDI USB device cable that has specific Windows 10 drivers.
Thanks!
