Windows 10: Saitek Panels in FSX Not Working

Hi all,


I have been having a lot of problems with my Saitek Switch Panel and Multi Panel. I got them about 8 months ago, and it took about 2 weeks to set them up because there were heaps of problems with functions and displays etc. I recently just pulled them about for the first time in nearly 3 months (been busy with school so no time to use FSX), and I am back to square one. The panels appear to work fine using the test software that Logitech have provided. I use the original SPAD because it is free, and I am unwilling to pay for software like FSUICP or SPAD.Nxt or whatever it is called. However there is a problem with this program too ; it has always opened as a background process instead of a .exe application. I don’t think this is the problem with the panels however, as it has always been like this and they used to work fine. All I did was double click SPAD to launch it and they turned on. Now, it doesn’t do anything. I have used all the online solutions to turn SPAD into a .exe application, but nothing works and I can not fix that. Anyway, the point is the panels are recognised by the computer as all of the buttons, switches and knobs get a response in the Logitech test software, but apart from that they do not function. When I run my simulator not one switch or button on either panel works. Sometimes the multi panel display will glow red but it won’t show any numbers. I even tried running the sim and then opening SPAD, opening the test software and running the sim, etc but nothing works. I have spent the last couple of weeks researching and nothing helps. It’s not a power issue, because 1. As I said earlier, it used to work fine. My PC is still the same, nothing has changed. 2. I have an Anker 10 port powered USB hub, which has worked fine for the last 6 months. I have tried using different ports on the hub and PC itself but nothing works. What I don’t understand is why it stopped working even though not one thing on my PC has changed. I have even tried cleaning up junk and using anti virus software like Malwarebytes to clean my PC and still nothing helps.

My Saitek flight Switch panel is not working with Win10.

I have installed Microsoft Flight sim X with a Saitek yoke and throttle quadrant which works fine but, when I tried to connect the flight switch panel, It loaded onto the computer but is not active or even visable.

I have loaded the drivers from Saitek and still no good. Have search the internet for a solution and it seems to be an issue with Windows 10.

Could you please advise me as to a solution.

I have read that the drivers from Vista orWP could work but I'm reluctant to try without tech advice.

This problem must have been raised before. Also the rudder pedals seem to have the same issue.

I have also downloaded X Plane 11 and still could not get the switch panel working.

Thank You in advance
