Default Mbox 2 Mini 2 on Win10 in 2020

Hi folks,

My simple question is for the people using an Mbox 2 Mini: How is your Mbox setup and how did you get it working?

I wanted to get it working on Windows 10 after recently upgrading from 7 and I ran into some issues with Pro Tools First. I decided to try and see if it would work with the latest software rather than the older ones, and turns out that it can. When I have a clean working installation of Pro Tools First and I install the drivers, the Mbox 2 Mini works.

The problem occurs when I reboot. I get a hard blue screen of death right away on my laptop, the ASUS ROG GL753VD It always requires a startup repair that rolls back the Mbox Driver, Pro Tools First or usually both. In another test I tried to install Pro Tools First on my older PC and the driver caused my PC to lock up and I needed to do a fresh install. This wasn't as tragic as I had recently done a fresh install due to other issues.

Sometimes I do see others using this device still but with Windows 10 and no drivers support, it seems like this Box is a Brick now. I'm just looking to confirm this and if anyone has been able to fix it.

These were the drivers that I used.

At one point I did have it working with a beta driver, but in Audacity and not Pro Tools for some reason. Weirdly enough, I believe what happened is that I used the a beta driver for a regular Mbox 2. I did not try the latest Mbox 2 driver as it appears to be the same version of the Mbox 2 Mini and likely is the same driver.

I was looking into how to omit the driver from causing issues on startup but that was more advanced than I could figure out, but I may give that a shot.
