Kronos MIDI driver not recognised by the last update of W 10

[jimknopf]

Confirmed:

With the actual Windows 10 Update (1903), the Korg Midi drivers have completely stopped working.

Hello Korg?

Has anyone who has upgraded to Win10 1903 and can reproduce this contacted Korg customer care to let them know? I would think they'd want to maintain their drivers for a current flagship product.

I'd like to think they monitor these forums but I don't really see Korg employees post here anymore, so I'm not sure if they do or not.

I have WIN10/1903 and was trying to install the kronos MIDI drivers. What a huge mess! Main issue is that suddenly the drivers are assigned to an id >= 10 which the Korg driver does not handle correctly.

There are some links about this, unfortunately I seem to have lost them.
Anyways; I had to add "Alias" string items to the kronos drivers and set them to like midi3 / midi4.

You can find the driver somewhere under this path:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

Look for 000x/Drivers/midi/xxx.drv and add a string value with key Alias and Data midi? (for example midi3)

Then you have to set the explicit driver for each midiX string you added above.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

I.e: add a string here with key midi3 and value korgum64.drv

But something is wrong still. The 32-bit drivers simply refuses to work now. Midiox and the korg editor does not see the ports
