Windows 10: Windows 2004 F710 Xbox drivers

In Windows 10 2004, the manual upgrade of drivers doesn't work for generic controllers. This case in particular, the Logitech F710, always worked perfectly after you force any Xbox controller driver from the first Win10 version right up to 1909, however, after the 2004 update, the drivers won't load. In fact, in the device properties it says "No drivers are installed for this device. " right after you close the windows saying "Windows has successfully updated your drivers"

Logitech gamepad f710 driver unavailable

Since the installation of the October 17 2017 upgrade I have an issue with my Logitech f710 driver. When I go to settings devices I see Logitech f710 gamepad listed however it says driver is unavailable. If I go to device manager under other devices I
see Wireless gamepad f710 with a yellow triangle. I right click on Wireless gamepad f710 and ran scan for hardware issues, however nothing happens. I tried right clicking on Wireless gamepad f710 and ran update driver I received the message Windows could
not find drivers for your device. I tried going to settings Windows update and receive the message your device is up to date. I tried uninstalling Logitech software then reinstalling the drivers and software directly from Logitech website. I tried rebooting
my Asus ROG G750 laptop. Please help me with my next step as to how to get my gamepad working. please note before this upgrade I had absolutely no issues.

thanks in advance,

Glenn

 

Problems with logitech f710 gamepad

- I remember jumping through the same hoops you have, when trying an F710

I believe MS's XBOX driver for wireless controllers was involved too (MS have been making life difficult for other controller

mfg's since they got developers to make their XBOX controller the default in all games some years ago).

[EDIT 2: The steps I outlined below are the same as the 'fix' in Time Ladys' link
(with less detail) ]

- Basically, I had to get access the driver
viaDevice Manager by using the
browse my computer option.


For some reason Windows does not pick up the driver if you install it directly from the installer .exe.

I may have installed the driver, and then used Device Manager to locate it (or the component parts) an 'install' it again ?

[EDIT 1: I may have extracted the files from the installer .exe to a new folder on my desktop and browsed to that location

from Device Manager . ]

- Note that you should see several references to the F710 in the
Human Interfaces section of
Device Manager if you have also installed the LGS-510 software for use with the DInput mode, and have the controller switched to DInput.

When in XInput mode the F710 will show as an XBOX controller in XBOX Peripherals
(once drivers have installed)

( For the LGS software look in > 'Show all downloads' > Win10 & scroll down to and download the
LGS 5.10.127 64bit version ).

Downloads - Wireless Gamepad F710 ]

[EDIT 3: Suggestions fell on deaf ears I guess.... So, yeah! Go ahead and spend more dosh on another game pad, but if you

can't be bothered sorting out the drivers make sure you buy an MS XBOX controller this time.]

Logitech F710 driver not loading in latest build (1909)

I'm surprised you were able to install the F710 without issues previously. If I remember correctly the wireless bit was the main issue.

If you have installed\re-installed the LGS 510 profiling software\driver for the DInput option Dave linked to and are

still having problems there is a trick.

My F310 is working at the moment and I don't recall exactly what I did previously to get the F710 I had briefly

(this issue got me so teed off I returned it after sorting out the problem) working after much frustration,

but I think that after installing the profiling\driver software from Logitech, and the -

Xbox 360 Controller for Windows | Device downloads | Microsoft Accessories

(which should be built into Win10) it was still not working properly, but was recognised in Device Manager.

Anyway, what you need to do is reinstall again via Device Manager.

Open Device Manager, and set the input switch on the controller to XInput and verify if is being detected in XBOX mode

(XBOX 360 Peripherals, bottom of list) .

If it is, click on Update Driver and Select the Browser My Computer option.

Then click on the Let me pick option. Select a driver from the list that pops up and click install.
Reboot... Cross Fingers.

You may also have to do the same in Human Interface Devices if you find the F710 listed there and the DInput mode is not working.

(This whole XInpt\XBOX thing is just one more disservice MS have done to gamers who play old games that don't have

an XIpnut option, or who want to use DInput because it allows the user
to decide which buttons they want to use vs Big Brother)
