Windows 10: MIDI is Not a Security Hazard

By modifying Windows' HID drivers to only allow one app to connect to any device at a time, you've screwed your music production community big time. You've removed the ability to have MIDI controller configuration software connected at the same time as a DAW or virtual instrument. Having to close programs to swap back and forth is annoying and time consuming. MIDI is Not a Security Hazard! Please exclude it from your overly aggressive blanket obstruction.

Win 10 Pro with IE11 will not play Midi and Mp3 WEB site files

As a workaround, we suggest that you download the files and use Windows Media Player with the right codec package installed. To do that, you may refer to the support link below:

No MIDI support?

I am very happy with my new phone (Nokia Lumia 520), but I can't understand why MIDI support has been dropped from Windows phone. My old (2004) feature phone was capable of playing them as well as MP3 and other formats, and using them as ringtones as well
(without time/size limitation). MIDI files are very efficient storage-wise since they take very little space. I like having different ringtones for people in my contacts list and converting MIDI to MP3 turns an under 3MB MIDI library into a monster 400+MB
of shortened MP3 music/ringtones. Implementing a MIDI mapper/codec in a much more powerful "smartphone" shouldn't take a lot of room in the system software. Am I wrong thinking this?
