Windows 10: Fastboot (Android)

I want to root my Sony Xperia Z3 compact phone, however I seem to have a problem with getting fastboot working. Adb works fine, however win 10 doesn't (it worked well with win 7) recognize my phone properly when in fastboot mode and connected via USB. Anyone here who's had the same trouble with Android devices? Any ideas?

Windows 10 & Android Fastboot (Device Failed Enumeration - Error Code 43)

Hi, To Microsoft Community!

I Am Using Windows 10 Enterprise Edition (x64). I Am Having Issues Connecting My Android Device In Fastboot Mode. Although I Have Installed Proper Drivers For My Device & It Is Recognized By Windows 10 In Normal Mode (HTC Android Composite Device) But I
Am Unable To Use It In Fastboot Mode. My HTC Device Is Also Recognized In "HBOOT Mode". It Shows "USB BOS Descriptor Failed" & "Device Failed Enumeration - Error Code 43" In Fastboot Mode. I Have Tried Everything But Unable To Get It Connected.

Here Is The Screenshots Link For Better Understanding. Looking Forward For Your Reply. Thanks!

BSOD caused by unknown driver

Whenever I try to use android's fastboot my system randomly crashes. The only thing I get on BSOD screen is "SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED".

I have similar troubles with all the Androids. Seems that every phone/device needs proper drivers for Windows for them to connect properly. Unfortunately Alcatel (my phone) doesn't have drivers for W10 at all. Maybe you can find some from Sony.

 

I downloaded some fastboot drivers from the Sony website as you suggested, I tried installing them manually however this happens, any suggestions, am I even going right with installing them this way?

 

Sorry, I couldn't get proper drivers for my previous Sony phone either. That was one of main reasons I switched to Alcatel but that did not pan out either. Didn't work with W 8.1 either. I hear that even iPhone owners are not having much luck.

 

Oh well, I'll play a bit around with android studio, maybe I can come up with something. If not I'll just install win 7 and go for a dualboot configuration. Thanks for answering mate, cheers.
