    USB Gamepad not working in Windows 10


    Hi


    I am using Redgear Smartline Gamepad for more than a year now and it has been working great with my Windows 10 laptop until recently.
    One day after plugging in the device, I received a notification that the USB device connected has not been recognized and may have malfunctioned. I tried a few times by connecting and disconnecting the gamepad but in vain.


    I reinstalled the driver that came along with the gamepad and after installation I didn't receive that notification and the gamepad's Analog light lit up and it showed up in my list of devices connected. However, I couldn't use the gamepad for any of the games I earlier used to play with the same gamepad. I decided to calibrate it.


    I went into my list of devices, went into the properties of the gamepad, but while calibrating, it showed that the device is not connected and asked me to retry. I disconnected and connected it again, and this time was able to start the calibration process but again the same notification popped up. But after disconnecting and connecting once more, the very fast notification that the USB device has not been recognized showed up once again.


    I would appreciate it anyone helps me with this problem, as I can't diagnose whether it's a problem with Windows or the gamepad. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to test it out on another machine but I will immediately update here once I do so.


    I am running Windows 10 1903.


    Regards

    :)

    USB Joystick not working on windows 10

    Some gamepads need a powered USB port. If the gamepad is not working correctly, try connecting it to a different USB port. Unpowered hubs or ports might not provide enough power.

    In addition, to help eliminate any possible hardware issues, try using the gamepad on another computer.

    Let's also use Device Manager to help troubleshoot problems with your gamepad and to make sure there are no conflicts. To use Device Manager, follow these steps:

    • Click Start.
    • Type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.
    • When the gamepad is successfully installed, you should see it under Human Interface Devices.
      For example, HID-compliant game controller or USB Human Interface Device.

    • If you see yellow exclamation points next to any of these entries, there's a problem with the installation.

    Keep us updated with the status of the issue.

    Gamepad not working in Windows 10

    Hello,

    I suspect this might be a hardware issue, since your cousin’s gamepad works well on your PC and your gamepad is facing the same issue on your cousin’s PC. So I suggest you to contact the gamepad manufacturer for better assistance.

    Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
