Windows 10: Seriously, what is the no nonsense solution of why the Zune does not connect in Windows 11?...

I have a Zune, as a lot of others still do and it should not be a hassle to connect a USB Microsoft product and have it be recognized. It seems almost intentional at this point as it worked perfectly all the way up through Win 10.Lets skip all the way through all of the assumption that people do not know how to restart it, clean ports, set power policies, install software, etc. All of that is done. The Zune software is fine and current. The player seems to refuse to connect for most people. What is the issue with USB in Windows 11 and/or drivers?Whoever answers this would be a legend, ins

:)

 

Any way to get the Zune software to work on Windows 10?

I still have and love my old Zune HD, it's my main music player, but I recently moved from a Windows 7 computer to a Windows 10 and I can't seem to install the software anymore. I tried looking online for fixes and found the offline Zune installer since the software is no longer supported by Microsoft and it can't contact the Microsoft Zune page anymore. A lot of people said this worked for them but I still keep getting errors. I've ran out of things to try and was wondering if anyone here knew how I could make it work?

This is the error I keep getting:





It goes through the preparing your computer step and onto the installing step, gets to about 6-13% and then jumps to 88% and then the error pops up. I tried installing the firmware first as someone online suggested but that didn't help either (though I had the x86 version first and now when I try to install the right x64 version it pops up that a version of this is already installed but it's not under my program files for me to delete the wrong one.) Either way, the error occurs regardless of what I've tried. My only other option is to use a VM but I really don't want to as that's so much more trouble. I'd love to get it working on my Win 10!
