I think its more of a Win 10 issue since the Yardstick works just fine on Windows 7 as  the host and VMware Player. Have a colleague that has the exact same issue on this Windows 10 system as well with his Yardstick.

Let's assume that this is a Windows 10 issue then, and we can ignore
VMware Player for the time being.

Does the device show up in the Windows device manager?

Do you have access to a system that still works with YARDStick One
that you could use to update firmware?

Thanks,
