Windows 10: How to use a USB Joystick over RDP ?

I have a joystick Thrustmaster Hotas X connected via USB on my computer, however when I want to play Microsoft Flight Simulator on a remote PC via RDP the joystick does not shows up. Is there a way to pass the USB device through the RDP connection ? I've seen a lot of options available for this problem but they all seem to be paid.

USB joystick drivers lost after every reboot

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to get better clarity on the issue, please let us know:

• When you say, “my usb joystick drivers are lost every time i reboot my pc” is the USB joystick not detected after restart?
  
• What is the make and model of the joystick?
  
• Which update was installed recently? To check go to
  Start >> Settings >> Update & Security >> Windows Update >> View update history.
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned Method 3 to 5 in the article

Error: “USB Device not recognized” when you try to access a USB external hard drive.



Let us know how it goes.

USB joystick

Did the joystick work on Win10 prior to v1803 update ?

Which MS games ?

What brand and model joystick ? Does the joystick show in Device Manger > Human Interface Devices,

Universal Serial Bus Devices, or XBOX 360 Peripherals ?
