Hi, thought I would flag this one up again, as the latest Windows 10 update caused the (previously hacked ‘W10’) Roland drivers to stop working again on my UM-880/UM-550. I've saved my own modified drivers to a compressed file (WinZip) to save downloading and editing them from the internet each time, though. Luckily the methodology hasn't changed with each update at all. The LED on my UM-3EX didn't even light up showing it was connected, regardless of which USB port I tried, looking for all the world like it was a dead device.Īfter the OS update I removed the device, uninstalled the Edirol drivers (they were still seemingly installed), restarted the PC, then followed the same instructions on this page again to reinstall the device, and everything's lit up and working again. The Edirol device seemingly wont be recognised after such an OS update.
I think it's because such Windows updates are entire OS refreshes, rather than bolt-ons, and it afterwards attempts to redownload and install new drivers rather than re-use the ones that are previously installed. Yep, I noticed it with the Anniversary Update, and Creators Updates.

Full kudos to intouch1 from the vdrums forum. Hope this may help others in the same predicament as it helped me.
Therefore you will need to install them without driver signature enforcement. Given the drivers have now effectively been 'tampered' with, Windows won't automatically allow them to be executed as a security precaution.
