Windows 10: JOYSTICK GAMING

The system detects the joystick and is also usable for playing the games which are installed from the CD.

The problem is that the joystick cannot be used for playing games which are downloaded from the windows store (such as forza , shadow fight, asphalt 8 etc,.).

Is there any way to use the Joystick or the only option is to use the keyboard.

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 ?
