Windows 10: I have a midi device which is works up to windows 7, is there any way I can get it to work...

The device in question is a Casio keyboard that I used as a midi device, I can't seem to run it on my new laptop which runs on windows 10 Is there any way I can use the device on windows 10? Thanks

Windows 10 Midi Keyboard not working

Here is some more detail on what I did to solve the issue.

First I connected all of my midi devices at once regardless of it they work or not. I did this so device manager shows me what is really going on in the next step. I have quite a few devices doing midi or usb.

Second I started control panel, went into device manager, changed view to show hidden devices and expanded down the sound, video, and game controllers. I right clicked and uninstalled any midi devices that were grayed out
and had a non-grayed out duplicate, right before doing this make sure to unplug the devices your having issues with, windows will warn you to do so. This removed quite a few devices as windows
installs a new one every time a device is plugged into a different usb port is used even if it's the same device.

Third, I checked the Unistall Korg midi-device utility. You can get this from korg's website and it installs as part of their usb driver. It works even if you don't have korg devices and you can uninstall after you fix things. When I ran the installer
I verified that I had free midi ports below port 10 after the clean up from step 2. Before step two my problem devices were getting assigned midi ports in the high teens/low 20's.

Fourth, I plugged in the problem devices and turned them on letting them reinstall. I then again ran the korg uninstall midi-devices utility and verified the problem devices grabbed a midi port under 10 which they did, for me I had three problem devices.
I verified all the problem devices now work.

 

Windows 10 Midi Keyboard not working

I have this exactly same problem with the same device.

With my Windows 7 computer there were never problems but with Windows 10, the MIDI keyboard works a few moments and after that I have to disable&enable the device from the Device Manager or reconnect the device cable. This is very annoying. At the same time,
my other MIDI keyboard works perfectly even with Windows 10.

 

MIDI USB Class Compliant Devices Do Not Work in Windows 10

Hey I had the same exact problem and this is how I fixed it, even if it doesn't work everytime! (but it is repeatable with an high rate of success)

My keyboard is a CASIO CTK - 2400 and I run win10 on a Laptop/Tablet configuration.

This is how I managed to make it work and what I suggest you try:

-Connect the keyboard to a USB 3.0 port and turn it on (this is how I did it so I suggest you try this before trying it another way)

-Go to Settings>Devices>Connected devices and click on Device manager

-Check for the connection (my PC did recognize the keyboard as an unknown USB device)

-Press right click on Sound, video and game controllers and select "Scan for hardware changes"

-When I did it the PC finally recognized the keyboard showing a CASIO driver

after that the keyboard wouldn't still send MIDI signals but I knew it was recognized so I insisted to find a way with the DAW Fruity Loops and this is how I make it work every time!

-turn off the keyboard

-open the DAW and turn on the keyboard

-refresh the MIDI device list

-when it's connected to the USB 3.0 port it works only briefly (couple seconds)

-when it's connected to the USB 2.0 port it works perfectly (just a really tiny lag but it may be because of the keyboard anyway nothing too bad)

-sometimes it stops working even when plugged in the USB 2.0 port my suggestion is to reset the DAW and then the PC and see if it fixes it

This is not ideal for live perfomances... but good enough for studio sessions.

I hope this was of help, God bless!
