I have recently bought a joystick, it works perfectly on my laptop but on my pc it becomes unspecified and the inputs don't work (both my laptop and pc have been formatted)

Hi boulos_mansour,

An incompatible driver may cause the device to not work properly on Windows 10. I suggest contacting your device manufacturer to get a Windows 10 driver for your device. You may also try using your PC joystick with other games to see if the issue persists.
If this only happens with certain games, resetting the game's controller setting may help to solve the issue.

Regards.
