I'll have a look at what my Libra 2 shows up as when I next plug it into the laptop.

The Event Viewer does show warnings though.

I don't know why but my experience is that Kobo ereaders prefer an USB2 port over USB3. Connection issues are less frequent with USB2.

Well,
I have connected the Kobo before and uninstalled the Linux File-Stor Gadget USB Device, and I have also uninstalled the driver in the USB section of Device Manager. What I hadn't done before is Uninstalled the device in Disk Drives in Device Manager and clicked on the "Attempt to remove the driver from the system" box So I clicked on the box, uninstalled device and driver, plugged the Kobo in, windows came up with the "New device" box, and all is working now. I do not really understand Win 11 that much but it appears that uninstalling device and driver separately didn't work, but uninstalling them together does. Does that make any sense at all?

I've had Win7 install wrong drivers for external USB Soundblaster and Wacom.
I've had Win10 updates mess up working drivers for SD card (on a tablet that needed it!) and built-in sound by installing ones that didn't work. They expect users to test? Turn off all autoruns & autoplays and use a not-MS browser with a script blocker and not-Outlook email client with remote content blocked. check with silentrunners.org after booting in safe mode. |
