If you are having issues with your software of choice not detecting the Midi Fighter 3D under Windows then it's possible it's drivers aren't correctly installed or something else in the installation has gone the wrong way. This guide will show you how to safely remove and re-install the Midi Fighter Utility and the drivers for your device.
Note: Windows has a hard time sharing MIDI devices between program so make sure any MIDI or professional audio software (Traktor, VirtualDJ, Ableton, etc) is closed BEFORE opening the MF Utility and vice versa, specially if you see a MidiOutWinMM error message.
1. With your device connected directly to your computer press open the Control Panel and locate the Midi Fighter Utility, once you do so right click on it and select "Uninstall" as shown below.
