Okay, I'll try to stay calm. First the news: Windows 10 has another update, and the Kobo Aura is now recognized as a device. I know this because it shows up as a USB Mass Storage device in Device Manager, and because it is recognized as an "ejectable" device in the "Safely Remove Hardware" app.
BUT Calibre doesn't see it. Neither does the Kobo desktop app. But please bear this in mind: I asked simply "if anyone else had seen this". At NO TIME did I suggest that Calibre was at fault. But it is quite possible that someone else has run into this, and has a solution (plug in, latest build, whatever). Now I ask this: why wouldn't this forum be a source of information for this kind of question, anymore than any other forum, considering it's Calibre I'm trying to connect to? You seem to be suggesting that I am the only one in the world that would ever has this problem, and that it's mighty stupid of me to ask other Calibre users if they have, too? Trust me (or not): I'm grown up enough to know how to search for answers on the Web. But let me take your advice one step further: I drive a Buick; it uses chipped keys for the locks. If I was to buy a third-party chipped key that doesn't work on my car, would it be wrong of me to go to a Buick forum and ask "Anybody else seen this?" Or would you decide for me that I should go to the "chipped key" forum instead. Quote:

It needs to show up a drive with a drive letter in windows explorer before calibre has a hope of connecting to it.
And, just FYI, if you have problems with device detection, the procedure to follow is described here: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq....ted-by-calibre |

And now that it shows up as a device in Windows, we can try to help you get calibre to notice that.
As Kovid said, try the debug device detection and report the results here. P.S. I didn't patronize you, but you certainly didn't ask in the Kobo forum and it is immaterial whether you also asked in Windows forums -- we are still not the right place to ask why Windows doesn't recognize it.

Again, I did NOT ask (this is the third time I am repeating this) why Windows didn't recognize. I don't know why you are not seeing this and understanding it.
And I'm pretty sure you were the one who suggested I be looking at Windows forums, so I was merely answering you on that. Last edited by beachboybogart; 07-16-2016 at 03:34 PM. |

Meantime, I will continue with web searches and hope that at some point, an OS update--or some other magical meeting of coding--will clear this up. |

It may now be recognized, but it is the wrong TYPE of device. |

This is going to be up to Microsoft and Kobo to fix. |

In this case, both Microsoft and Kobo are aware* of the issue though I haven't heard of any fixes being forthcoming. *Aware in this case means that I have whinged about the issue. |

As I've mentioned to Kobo staff this is a very ugly situation. If the fix requires Kobo to update f/w then there will be an issue with all those people who won't update f/w but run Windows 10

I'm expecting maybe 2-3 more preview builds before the code is frozen for the anniversary release. Quite a bit of the changes in the last few builds has been bugfixes so there is still a chance of a fix before code freeze but I wouldn't want to bet anything I was attached to.

I'm not familiar with MS's current practices. But when testing earlier versions of NT and derivatives in a corporate environment, two weeks out from release, the product would already be frozen and designated RTM (Ready for manufacture). And we would be finalising our 'early adopter' (IOW the quants) deployment processes BR |

For what it may be worth, Build 14393 was released today and no joy. Same issue.
