Ugh, well I just did the anniversary update, and now I'm stuck too. I'm not reformatting until I've finished my current book, I have however sent an e-mail to the French customer support. I'm not getting my hopes up, but if enough people contact them they might realise that it's not just a few clueless users having trouble.

I wrote to Kobo customer support, they thanked me and said they've escalated the issue. So signs do point to the fact that they are aware of the problem. However, it's not clear how they plan to fix it. Interestingly, I was only able to update my e-readers to the latest firmware via Kobo Desktop - Wi-Fi never flagged an update. If Wi-Fi update path is broken and USB is non-functional, how can I get their fix?
Incidentally, my old non touch-screen Kobo reader (firmware eReader-1.9.12) still connects after AU, but several Kobo Touch readers I've tried (firmware eReader-3.19.5761) do not. As a side note, since I'm new here. People seem to allude you need Calibre SW to side load books. Why is that? I've never installed Calibre, but side-load books via USB cable all the time. What am I missing? |

Many find it useful for various reasons. An easy way to sideload ePub's as kePub's if you want to use the Access renderer or kePub features. An easy way to manage your library, an easy way to more automatically manage collections if you want. Automatically backup the Kobo's database (using a plug-in). There are all kinds of reasons some folks find it useful. I like getting my metadata (series info, etc) just how I want it and having that then show on my device which I can easily do with Calibre, & I use kePub. |

The instructions in this post worked for me. Note that you have use the Minitool Partition Wizard Free, because if you use Windows to format you Kobo, it won't work.

a negative planet alignement caused trouble to my KGlo i.e. win10 AU plus a 'going to die' memory. After flashing a working image (thks to you now who), I used MPWF as per enigmedark' post #46. Magic! everything is now fine and in addition I got a 13GB expanded partition!
thanks to all! |

Question for the technical gurus and at the risk of this being a dumb question ...
Can I pre-fix my Kobos, i.e. if I apply enigmedark's solution to my Kobos *before* the Windows10 Anniversary update arrives at my PC am I likely to avoid getting the problem in the first place. Or do I have to let the Win10 update do its worst to my Kobos before I can fix them? Last edited by jackie_w; 08-06-2016 at 07:55 AM. |

I've applied the pre-fix to my old AuraHD (aka the Sacrificial Goat) just to get familiar with the process - no gremlins encountered. I think I'll stop there and leave Windows Update disabled for now. I don't care at all about delaying the Anniversary Update but I'm more concerned about not keeping the Windows Defender anti-virus stuff fully up-to-date. |

That's the link for Windows Defender update for 64-bit. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=121721&arch=x64 That's the page I got the link from. I just did the manual update and it worked with the Update service off. |

But anyhow, my kobo glo hd is working now on any windows version and also on the anniversary version. Too bad it takes some time if you have a lot of books and notes on your kobo. |
