    Adding New Device


    I have a new Dell 3793 laptop running WIN10 Ver 20H2 and have successfully installed SonicStage 4.3.01.14050
    I can't get my SONY MD-RH1 MINI DISK to be recognised by the laptop.
    It all worked on my previous Dell Desktop running WIN10.
    I can't find a driver update for Net MD/Hi-MD anywhere to install.
    I've tried creating a virtual disk but there is no ISO image to load.
    Tried running Microsoft's media creation tool but it didn't work Not enough disk space where? was using a 16gb USB.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    :)

    Change the way new devices are added to the Devices and Drives list

    Hopefully this is in the correct place, but I am sure a mod will move it if it is not so with that being said:

    By default, anytime a new devices is added to the system (a phone connected via USB for example) the icon for that device is placed in the first position in the Devices and Drives list under This PC.

    This behavior is really annoying because it pushes all the other icons that were already in the list to the next position in the list which totally messes with my muscle memory when navigating within the folder.

    A simple fix for this issue is to make it so that any device added to the system is added to the END of the list as is shown in the attached image and the way it was done in previous versions of Windows. This way, all icons stay in their default position in the list and all is well in the universe.

    The question of course is how to achieve the desired result either by some registry hack or by changing some hidden menu setting from explorer or some other method entirely.

    This is where you fine folks come in with your infinite wisdom to save the day and I thank you for your time and replies in advance.

  3. Adding a New Printer in Windows 10 does not work

    Hi Braink,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

    I understand your concern about adding a printer to Surface Pro 4 device. We will help you with this issue.

    This issue might have occurred due to corrupted or outdated printer drivers after installing the updates for Outlook 2016. We will help you with this issue.

    Try few of the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps you to add the printer.

    Step 1: If the device is not detected on your computer try to run Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.

    Hardware and Devices troubleshooter
    checks for common problems and makes sure that any new device or hardware connected to your PC is installed correctly.

    Follow:

    • Press Windows key from the keyboard, type
      Troubleshooting and select it.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner of
      Troubleshooting window.
    • Select the Hardware and Device
      options from the list.
    • Click Next to run the
      Hardware and Device
      Troubleshooter.

    Step 2: I suggest you to check the status of
    Print Spooler service and check.

    Print Spooler service, spools print service and handles interactions with the printer.
    If you turn off this service you won’t be able to print or see your printer.

    Steps:

    • Press Windows + R to open Run command, type
      Services.msc and press Enter.
    • Search for Printer Spooler service, right click on it and
      Start the service.
    • Also, set the Startup type to Automatic.
    • Now check if you are able to install the driver.

    Step 3: I suggest you to refer to the below thread, check if your issue matches with the same.

    If so, try the troubleshooting steps suggested by Greg Carmack - MS MVP
    on January 10, 2016 and check if it helps.

    • Are you able to set the audio device as output for audio players?

    • Type “troubleshooting” in search box and type Enter.
    • Click on View All on top left corner.
    • Click on Playing sound from the list and follow the prompts for troubleshooting.

    Also, suggest you to check if the device is listed in playback devices.

    • Check if the device is listed under Playback tab.

    Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.
