I contacted Microsoft today and I was told the following; the drivers will not be kept up to date specifically because Zengine isnt supported anymore and this could pose a security risk.
Zboard Windows 10 Creator UpdatePress question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts Log in sign up User account menu 5 SteelSeries Merc Stealth Issues after Windows 10 Creator Update.Open new window, page forward, page back, refresh, open windows task.Just curious if anyone has found a fix to this matter as my searching has lead me now where.Thanks. 69 comments share save hide report 100 Upvoted This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Sort by best level 1 3 points 2 years ago edited 2 years ago THIS FIX DOES NOT REQUIRE PREVENTING WINDOWS UPDATES It solves the problem by renaming the alpham driver associated with the zboard so windows no longer blocks it. It is a permanent solution and leaves your system in its original condition security-wise. There are people who are posting the driver they generated with this message for download. Zboard Code Into APlease recognize that it would be very easy to put malicious code into a driver installed in this manner. Download someone elses driver at your own risk. If you dont already have ZEngine installed, you can get it here all the way at the bottom under ZEngine. In your D:Program FilesIdeazonZEngine copy the Kernel2k directory to preserve an original untampered version. In the Kernel2K dir, rename every file that starts with Alpham or alpham to something else (ex. Alpham1.sys Merc1.sys). Open the renamed.inf file in a text editor (Notepad, etc) and do a similar find and replace on Alpham replacing with Merc (or whatever you used), replace all. NOTE: Ive received some reports that this can be completed for some people without performing steps 4-7. If it works for you without generating a new.cat file, YAY Otherwise, it will always work if you include it. Delete merc12.cat (the security catalog file) 5) Install Windows Driver Kit ( its going to give you a number of warnings during install that you wont be able to develop drivers since you dont have an IDE installed. Click new then add the directory of your inf2cat.exe file. Mine was in D:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits10binx86. I can follow steps 8 through 10 for the Ideazon Merc Stealh USB Human Interface Device but without the other one in my device manager list it still doesnt work, even though the icon turns green. I know have both listed in device manager and am able to change them. My icon turns green, it says I have the right profile loaded, but it still doesnt work. I wish I could just pay someone money to somehow hardcode my merc stealth. I dont even want to change that many keys Continue this thread level 2 2 points 2 years ago You sir, ARE A GOD Only thing i need to add, is that when you creating a new driver you should use no space after the, in the OS inf2cat driver:D:Program FilesIdeazonZEngineKernel2k os:10X64,10X86 it kept giving me error of no Valid OS until i took the space off Continue this thread level 2 2 points 2 years ago Having an issue with 7.
