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.
