The Roland Octa-Capture was installed by Windows 10 over the Internet.
I don't understand... You mean that you didn't have to download the drivers for your OCTA-CAPTURE because it came with Windows 10? I've just checked the Roland driver download page and there are no Windows 10 drivers for either the QUAD or OCTA-CAPTURE devices.

Actually Microsoft distributes a huge number of drivers for third parties. Many driver developers have stopped doing their own distributions altogether in favor of using the Microsoft update servers to do this work. Some of the smaller distributors find this the most cost effective option. So Windows doesn't come with a lot of drivers, at least not on the disc, but windows for most people doesn't come on a disc itself. In any case it is irrelevant what you call it, search Windows update for new drivers and you will often find them there--often when the equipment manufacturer does not provide them on their own website. I expect that if Windows 7 or 8 drivers will work in Win 10, those drivers will be what you are getting from any source.

I think there's some kind of registration/certification thing going on. I had the same thing happen with an iLok. I plugged it in, and Windows d/l'd and installed the PACE driver for it, the same as it did for my Logitech webcam, installing the Logitech driver.

Well this is new... Up until now MS (or third parties) has failed badly to distributed drivers via MS Update. Odd out of date driver here and there but no much. Maybe that situation is changing...

It is changing, There are now more product drivers that Windows 10 will install automatically. Great move.

Quad Capture is working fine under windows 10. Looks like it is still using the old driver. The bad news is my PCR 800 keyboard, which is just connected to a USB port is no longer working. When I restart, it lights up, and then goes dead. If I remove the cable and reconnect, it lights up, and then stops working. I thought it would have been the Quad Capture that I would have had trouble with, never thought the keyboard which is just plugged into the USB port. It doesn't even look like Roland is working on a driver from that link.

This includes my own UA25-EX which is an excellent audio interface that Roland have no excuse for dropping. I AM UTTERLY DISGUSTED WITH ROLAND!

Their list seems a bit "lite" at the moment - a LOT of gear is not even mentioned at all! Concerned about driver and app support for my Integra-7 and AX Synth. Already know my trusty old (and still in daily use!) UM-550 MIDI interface is taking a hit, at least according to their site. Things are running pretty well on my Windows 8.1 machine, which I just built at the first of the year. Even thought Win 10 is a free upgrade, I might stick with something I know is working...

https://www.roland.com/support
My view if they discontinue they should make the drivers open source, whereupon they may end up being better than ever in the end. Here's to hoping...
I wonder how many of the Roland products that they currently state will have no support for Win10 have drivers that were written by third parties under contract. Roland may not have the source code and would have to rely on, and pay, their driver subcontractors for Win10 support. One of the reasons I replaced my audio i/f with a Tascam is that they have brought their driver development in-house, to avoid issues like this, and more generally, bug/incompatibility fixes. Third parties have little to no incentive to fix their work. They get paid X to do Y. You want bug fixes? Give them a new purchase order. Plus, software subs come and go like the teenage hookers on Kalakaua Ave in Waikiki Beach. I've learned my lesson the hard way. Make fargin' sure your hardware vendor has complete control over supporting software development and support.

No new drivers at the site for Edirol PCR midi boards. Haven't tried it yet but maybe they will work with W8.1 drivrs.
Nope. I tried and I'm NOT happy. Then again, they only had half a year to get drivers ready. Each driver would have taken 4 minutes to change to allow installation on Windows 10.

Roland did the same thing with 8 and 8.1 drivers. Some were ready on release day, others were put online over the next few weeks.
Yes, it stinks IMHO. They had better do the VS 100 and 700.
Win 10 Pro x64, 32Gb DDR3 ram, Sonar Platinum, Cubase 9.5, Mackie MCU Pro, Cakewalk VS 100, Roland Octa-Capture, A 800 Pro, Carver M-1.5t amp & C4000 pre amp, various mics, drums and brass instruments. And away we go!

+1 I wouldn't read too much into Roland's published listing yet. Just consider that Microsoft hasn't changed much about the hardware driver model in Windows 10 as compared to Windows 8.1 or even Vista. So, in theory, it shouldn't take much more than Roland updating their drivers to 'recognize' Windows 10 as a valid OS version. OS version checking is something that pretty much became obsolete after Windows XP. However, for some reason Roland insists on making extra work for themselves. I suspect that the hardware design folks at Roland are probably now just using it as a form of job security.  -e.B
