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.

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:
