Topic: Controller not working after Windows Update
I have checked the forum for issues about https://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Win11-KB5074105.html but couldn't find a thread. Please close and link if there is any.
This VDJPedia article is very well written and for sure helpfull for many, but i have still a problem:
In my update history i have found KB5077181 & KB5077241. But my list for uninstalling updates doesn't contain these two KBs. I uninstalled all the offered updates, but it still don't work.

Any ideas what to do?

This was the first time since 15 years using virtual dj that i couldn't make it run for my gig. Now i know that god is a dj, because i had luck that my safety notebook wasn't updated at the time of this gig.

Sometimes they don't show in the uninstall list. Run this tool from Microsoft first before you uninstall anything: https://github.com/microsoft/MIDI/releases/download/enablement-checker/midicheckservice_x64.zip
This will tell you if MIDI 2.0 is the problem from the updates. If they are present, then do the uninstall
Also, check to see if you have the latest update to VDJ... I believe they addressed some of these issues in updates.

This will uninstall them from the system. Open a command prompt (CMD) in admin mode.
Type the command:
wusa /uninstall /kb:5074105 /norestart

then
wusa /uninstall /kb:5077181 /norestart

finally
wusa /uninstall /kb:5077241


then restart your computer.
 
@DJJamieFox Thank you very much for your quick response and help.

I started the tool. It says:
Looking for wdmaud2.drv in registry
- Successfully verified wdmaud2.drv is present in registry, as required by the new MIDI stack.

Testing MIDI Service Activation
- Successfully tested connectivity to service: MIDI Service is available and running from System32.

I understand this in that way, that there is no problem?
I checked my VDJ Version. I have the latest v2026 b9005.
I also tried to uninstall the KBs via the cmd lines you provided, but my windows says for the preview update 5077241 that it is not installed, but i can still can see it in the history. And for kb 5077181 i got the message, that this updated is needed and can't be uninstalled.

So unfortunately it doesn't work. But thank you very much for your help anyway!

No, it's the oposite.
These messages mean that your computer has the new MIDI service that's known to have some bugs
 
So the problem is that I installed a preview update, and now I have to hope that Microsoft releases a proper update soon, and until then I can't use Virtual DJ with the console?
