BU0836X game controller won't calibrate

After updating from Windows 10 home to Windows 10 pro my BU0836X game controller cannot be calibrated. It shows up in the list of game controllers but when you click on properties to try and calibrate the device the box says it's a communications device
and calibrate is grayed out. Furthermore, this device worked fine before I updated to windows 10 pro!! I need this device as part of an experiment I've been working on for the last 5 years and I do not have time for this nonsense. I tried every single "fix"
I could find not one worked at all. I paid for the updated OS thinking it would be an improvement. Instead it set me back months. What is the problem and how can I fix this?
