Hi lately I've had the problem where windows 10 would not recognize that the axe-fx II was connected, and certainly not connect to the axe-fx II from axe-edit. I found a temporary solution where I start windows in advanced mode where forced driver authorization is turned off, but today I found a permanent fix.
When you open the installer the normal way, you get this message:
"Driver install error code: 116
Driver could not be updated.
Run installer again and accept
installation of unsigned drivers."
and this message is pretty frustrating, but the way I did it was this:
Update drivers in Windows 10
And Voilà! Windows 10 now accepts the Fractal Audio USB driver so you can run axe-edit/cab-lab normally instead of having to use advanced startup / safe-mode or whatever
Pretty basic stuff, but it's been frustrating me from time to time when I forget about the specific way of doing it for various reasons like uninstall/install, new drive, whatever

Update drivers in Windows 10
- Select Start , in Search , type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.
- Expand a category (like Monitors or Network Adapters) to find the name of your device, in this case the axe-fx II right, then right-click (or tap and hold) it, and select Update Driver. ...
