Microsoft Band + Win 10 Preview = "USB device not recognized" error - anybody else?

[Bkr11]

To be fair this computer has had issues recently, which is why I'm trying the Win 10 preview on it, but it always worked w/ the Band in the past. Any ideas on a manual driver install re: the band or something else? Thx.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I don't have a quick solution for you, but this is being tracked internally now and we'll take a look. One potential workaround may be to clean your band contacts as we've seen this issue on Windows 8 as well.

edit: here are more details

Can you please try the following:
1. Clean the band connector with a swab and alcohol. Pencil eraser will also work. Concentrate the cleaning on 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] from the outside gold connectors from both sides.
2. Quit the app, then reconnect the band to a known working USB 2.0 port directly(if using a hub earlier)
3. Does the band enumerate in the device manager?

Hi, I'm having the same problem. Cable charges the Band when connected to the electrical plug.
Get the USB device not recognized, uninstalled the app, reinstalled it, rebooted but no success.

So my Dell had a bum mobo...fixing it now. I'll see whether the problem persists after getting it fixed.
