Windows 10 Creators update broke Saitek profiles

[Jade_Monkey]

Hi everyone,

 

My Windows 10 creators update went through (unsolicited) and it broke the saitek profile functionality.

The saitek software crashes when it starts up. Anyone having similar issues? any workarounds?

 

Thanks,

I am using an X-52 and Combat Pedals.

 

After that last Win 10 update the X52 is not recognised at all (even after trying to re-install the drivers).

 

The pedals are fine.

 

Thanks Microsoft-ons.

I lost administrator rights and TrackIr refused to work. 

 

Goodbye Creators update! 

[beepee]

Thanks for the idea mate.

 

I rolled back to the previous version of windoze and Bob's your uncle, it all works fine again.

 

FYI if you set your connection to a metered connection windoze will not auto-update.

It's had no impact on my X52 setup.

[beepee]

You are lucky Elem.

 

The creators update kept sending me notifications to restart.

 

I thought "Well,I have installed the latest Saitek drivers...What could possibly go wrong?"

 

And we are back to square one. It has uninstalled my X52 drivers and when I try installing them it won't allow me to.

 

Fuck you Microsoft.

why'ed you even down load it?

[beepee]

It was not by choice. It was before I had set my connection to metered.

 

Win 10 updates itself.

 

Guess I will roll it back again and try and find a way to get rid of the update.

Well Windows is finally pushing this Creators Update out to me now.

 

So if you guys don't hear from me for a while lol... I will certainly be keeping my fingers crossed!

 

Edit: Well this is weird. Had the message yesterday that it had gathered all info and was prompting to update, I selected to do so this morning at 8:00 am.

Has not updated. When I select to shutdown and it gives me my options, I get an update and restart option as well as an update and shut down option. However when selecting those, the system just restarts or shuts down without doing any update.

 

I guess when MS decided to finish pushing this to me I will eventually get it LOL. On with flying in the meantime!

Well after waiting I while I finally went into updates and security and found an option in there , apparently I had scheduled it for this evening rather than this morning. So anyway it gave me the option to go ahead and install which I did, so it has just finished and so far things look ok but it is really early to say as well...

Jade_Monkey,

 

I've the same probs with my X-55 and the HUD software.
Today, I've found this here:

 

https://community.logitech.com/s/question/0D53100006qP6XbCAK/solved-saitek-support-windows-10-creators-update-has-chuffed-saitek-profiler

 

I'll give it a try over the weekend.

Cheers

Dark

Thanks for the response. I ended up getting rid of the saitek software and it was a huge "upgrade" for me. No more headaches, no more macros getting stuck when the rotaries arent centered. I'mm very happy with just mapping through the game.

I am aware that this isn't a helpful comment, though post creators update my X52 is performing better than before. Some axis that weren't reading their full range correctly are now functioning properly

Jade_Monkey, do you have enough functionality on your X55? I would like to use the alternate mode selector on my X52 to provide two alternate functions for each of my buttons, but am not aware whether this can be done with in game mapping.

[Sokol1]

To use X-52 mode selector direct in games controls will be need that this game has something similar to DCSW "Switches" - permanent modifiers, and that this mode selector can be see in Windows/games as buttons.

I have asked if they would consider adding this ability in the questions to developers thread, and also put it in suggestions to the developers thread. I would so love it if they would simply add the ability to assign a joystick button as a modifier ( button held)  or switch. 

 

It would greatly expand the number of commands we could assign to buttons from within the game GUI.

The mode selector NEEDS the Saitek software. Im pretty sure it's a decision by Saitek and nothing to do with the game.

 

I don't think windows recognizes the modes as a key in the first place.

Thanks mate. I'll check out the Logitech/Saitek software.

So I had this issue again after letting WIndoze 10 update.

 

I went to Logitech and grabbed the latest X52 drivers.

 

I then found out on trying to install them that it would not recognize the USB connection.

 

After much trial and error I discovered that I needed to go into the device manager, right click on the X52 (under "Human Interface Devices"), click "update drivers" , then "browse my computer" and "let me pick" and select the generic "USB input Device" and hit the next button.

 

And it worked.

MF-Beepee - thanks for this. Just spent the last two days trying to get this sorted. Should have came here first and saved myself a load of work!

So far this has worked - just have an issue when loading a profile my mouse/keyboard goes crazy and types continous -+ !

 

Thanks again!
