ATTENTION / UPDATE:
Microsoft has released a targeted fix specifically for issues with Jogwheel Seek and Fine Tempo Adjustments. They are planning to roll out this fix to all users in April/May, but have made it available for download/installation as a short-term fix as well (see link below).

Hi @Apos, Iāve merged your new topic with this existing one. Please see above for more details.
Wow, I wasnāt aware of this!
After replacing the Windows.Devices.Midi.dll file, the duplicate entry is gone.
Thanks @Slak_Jaw

TECH SUPPORT! PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
Hello everyone! Iām in need of some technical support and Iām reaching out everywhere I can. I recently purchased my controller online and when I first used it, it worked completely as normal. I was able to cue, mix, press play and hear audio just fine.
However after a few days I came back to start mixing/organzing some new songs and suddenly my controller was unresponsive. I can still hear the audio but when I go to play/fade/mix/cue as usual, the controller doesnāt respond to my input.
Everything is connected properly, the cables are fine, Iāve tripled checked my laptop AND dj app settings but nothing seems to click. Also the lights are on, but not all of them come on like when I was first using it. Leaving this here in case anyone has had this same problem/ knows how to fix it.
PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

Hi @Nile_Hines, welcome to the Community! Iām guessing you recently updated to Windows 11 25H2. If so, please refer to this help topic for some workarounds:

Unfortunately, the duplicate MIDI device issue appeared again, although I have replaced the Windows.Devices.Midi.dll file with the one from the fix above. I re-applied and restarted but this time it persists. Iām at loss here.
Very strange @Apos. Is this affecting how your controller works with djay at all?
Thereās a newer version of the fix dated 18/3/2026 but although I applied it, it didnāt solve the problem.
To answer your question @Slak_Jaw, when I load djay, it seems the controller is unresponsive at first but after a while it works correctly. But I havenāt tested everything of course.

Okay thanks. Iām not sure what else to suggest here @Apos.
Have you uninstalled all of these Windows Updates?
- KB5074105
- KB5077181
- KB5077241
You can find these in Settings > Windows Update > Update History > Uninstall Update.
Out of the three, I only see KB5077181 installed but itās not in the āUninstall updatesā list, so it cannot be uninstalled after all.
That could be the culprit then. I recommend you contact Microsoft Support for additional instructions on how to remove that update or to rollback to 24H2.
I personally tested the Microsoft patch on four different PCs with different devices, and it worked on all of them. Double-check that you applied the patch correctly.
I just installed update KB5085516, and I didnāt have to install the patch after that update. Perhaps KB5085516 fixes the problem; try it.
