Can't get ISE10.1 to recognize platform xilinx platform cable on Win10 etc.??

Probably seen this question before, ISE10.1 being used with older XP all is working fine for Jtagging old xilinx parts. For newer stuff we had to upgrade to Crapvado and Windows 10. Now the when running ISE10.1 to program the older stuff that Vivado doesn't support the ISE10.1 can no longer find the platform cable. The cable is still good and runs under Vivado. Really Xilinx? Your software is so pathetic that it needs over 9gb of my drive and yet your drivers can no longer operate a platform cable that was operating fine under XP (so I know the problem isn't the computer) With the release of Crapvado suddenly the older small CPLD's and FPGA's are just written off unless I keep an XP machine in my stable? And then the flip side is the old XP machine can't run Vivado without crashing every two minutes. Got to be one of the worst companies and products I've ever dealt with.

The short story is that your ancient ISE 10 isn't supported on Windows 10.

And the rest of your complaint is nothing new, to be honest. It's been the case for nearly a decade, or whenever ISE 14.7 (the last version) was released.

For the record, I installed an Ubuntu virtual machine on my Win10 box, and I run ISE 14.7 in that so I can support a few old designs that have Spartan 3ANs.

old platform cable is know to be broken on windows due to newer jungo USB driver. Try to re-install the one from ISE, there is a Xilinx support post about this.

While installing the current Vivado, I found that Win7 was no longer
supported. That forced me to move to Windows 10. Then I tried to
install ISE14.7 for my Coolrunners, I found out that the win10 update
for ISE 14.7 is a virtual machine. I decided not to push my luck too far
by running a virtual machine in the Win10 virtual machine that runs
on Linux. I'll simply keep the old Win7 virtual machine.

When they can't run 14.7 under Win10, they very probably cannot run 10.1.

The Jungo driver can be reverted by uninstalling it, and deleting windriver.sys from the system32\drivers folder, then installing the driver that comes with ISE.
I have the same situation (need to support Spartan 6 boards), I have a windows 7 machine dedicated to programming them.
