Windows 10: my game controller is shown as unspecified

I dont know how this happened. I went to go use it and the buttons werent registering. so i went to the control panel and in "Devices and Printers", it showed up as unspecified. I've tried unplugging and replugging, ive tried restarting, reinstalling and checking for updates and nothing works. My device is the logitech g920. Their support forms arent an option because nobody responds when i have a problem. I remember having a problem simular to this months back, but i dont remeber how i fixed it.

iPhone shown as Unspecified in Devices and Printers


I have a problem with my iPhone 5s/iOS 9.2.1 in Windows 10 Pro x64 Build 10586.71, as shown in the pictures:

Although everything works OK, i.e.
• iTunes v.12.3.2.35 recognizes it, backs it up and syncs it
• I can see its content from Windows Explorer
• and in Device Manager has the latest drivers for both Apple iPhone & Apple Mobile Device USB Driver

the iPhone is shown in “Devices and Printers” under Unspecified Devices.







Is there any way to fix that?

Any suggestion is welcomed... except from in-place-upgrade - that goes to my dear friend Shawn Brink, he knows why!

Game controller ID settings

Hi Joe,

Thank you for the update. I understand your concern.

I would suggest you to look for the Devices settings in Control Panel and check if the game controllers are listed. If so, refer to the following steps to alter the settings and check if these are helpful in resolving your issue.

a. Right click on one of your game controllers and click Game Controller Settings. Note where in the list it is. If it is not at the top proceed to the next step.

b. Right click and remove all your other controllers (not the 360/gamepad) and let them reinstall automatically.

c. Once complete right click and check the list again and see if the 360 controller/gamepad is at the top. If so, give the game another try and see if it detects your controller.

If the issue still persists, restart your console and then try to reconnect your controller.

Hope this information is helpful. Please post back your results for further assistance.
