Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 Not Working with Windows 10

I purchased a Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 that is supposed to work with Windows 10, and so far it does not.

Windows 10 detects it when I plug in its wireless receiver and turn it on; but in Windows Device Manager, the gamepad shows with a yellow caution icon and is said to not be working properly.

I have tried the gamepad's XInput and DirectInput modes and installed Logitech Gaming Software for it. In Device Manager, I have also tried:

• Automatically updating the gamepad's driver: Device Manager indicates that it cannot find an appropriate driver for it.
  
• Browsing to the folder under C:\Users\Joe\appdata\Local\Temp extracted by Logitech Gaming Software's InstallShield installer to update the gamepad's driver, indicating that Device Manager should check subfolders for an appropriate driver too: Device Manager again indicates that it cannot find an appropriate driver.
  

From the research I did online, I was unable to find a solution either. Has someone on SU had this problem and found a way to resolve it?

 

Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 Not Working with Windows 10

After more digging, I learned in Logitech's support forums that others have this issue too, also that no one has a solution there either.

After even more digging, I found a fix, which I detailed there and below for completeness.

Microsoft Community Solution

TheTexanGamer's Microsoft Community solution to a similar issue with an Xbox 360 wireless controller and Windows 10 seems to have resolved the problem for me: Xbox 360 wireless controller not working/connecting on windows 10

I had to follow the steps outlined in TheTexanGamer's answer with the F710 in XInput mode:

Results

Screenshots of the results I got follow.

Possible Lingering Issues

• The LT and RT buttons affecting Z Axis in the Game Controllers control panel? That does not seem right to me, but maybe I am mistaken.
  
• DirectInput? The above solution did not work for me until I switched the gamepad to XInput mode.
  

 

Wireless gamepad not working

I have bought 2 wireless game controller. (Hama urage vendetta 2)
It works perfect with my laptop. Real plug and play.
When I connect to my PC (MSI B450 Tomahawk Max motherboard), the PC recognizes, says everything Ok, but when I try the test at gamepad settings, nothing happens. I think the pc recognize the usb stick, but
the controller can't connect (all leds are flashing)
What should I do? I tried every usb slot. And the USB slots are working perfect with pendrives and portable winchesters.
Windows is the same ad in the laptop. All drivers of the motherboard, gamepad, windows is installed. Wireless mouse works perfect too.
