Kobo Aura Edition 2

[philippemp31]

I just got Windows Creators Update installed on my PC and Calibre no longer sees my Kobo Aura Edition 2.
Windows loads the device as a mass storage but does not recognize it as a reader Calibre can use.

Here's the debug (in bold my Kobo).

Not sure it comes from Windows but possible anyway.

Are you sure calibre ever saw this device? Kobo updated the hardware in the Aura Edition 2 and Aura H2O Edition 2 and changed one of the USB IDs used. The KoboTouch driver had to be updated to handle this. This was done in calibre 3.20. No version of calibre before that would have been able to see your device.

Anyway, the answer is to update calibre.

My fault, I upgraded Calibre and it worked !
