I had this problem today with my new Kindle not being recognized by Windows 10. I tried every USB port on the front and none of them seemed to work. What finally seemed to get it to work was to enable Network sharing or something. eg, in Windows Explorer, click on 'Network' in the bottom on the left pane. I didn't have sharing turned on and Windows 10 asked if I wanted it turned on. I clicked on it to have it enabled, and enabled the private network. AFter this, when I plugged the Kindle back in again it seemed to be recognized by Windows. I am not sure if the two events are connected, but it worked for me.
