You’re a gamer who prefers to use a gamepad instead of the keyboard and mouse. While that’s odd for a Windows 10 PC gamer, we all like what we like. Now, a day comes when your gamepad is no longer working, and you’re wondering what is going on. If your USB gamepad or joystick is not being recognized in Windows 10, we’ve got a few fixes that should solve the problem once and for all. You may need to update the Driver, Adjust power management settings and get rid of some plug-n-play devices. Gamepad is not recognizedIt’s an issue of where the gamepad is not being recognized by Windows 10. You’ve run the, restarted the computer, yet the issue still persists.
So what’s the next move, then? Well, we’re going to talk about a number of ways to get this problem under control. Update the driverMany times, a problem with a Windows 10 compatible hardware all boils down to the driver. A simple update and the problem is fixed. You’ll need to download the latest driver from the manufacturer’s website.In case you are using a gamepad that supports Windows 10 to its latest version.If you are using an older gamepad that doesn’t fully support Windows 10, you may need to run the driver in Windows 7 or Windows 8 compatibility mode. To do this, download the gamepad driver, preferably the latest one, and right-click on the setup file, and then select Properties from the menu.
In the new window that pops up, search for compatibility tab, then click on “Run this program in compatibility mode.” From the drop-down menu, select either Windows 7 or Windows 8, and after that, complete the installation and restart the computer. Adjust power management settingsYour gamepad not being recognized can be fixed with a simple adjustment of the power management settings in Windows 10.Press down on the Windows Key + X to open the WinX menu, then select Device Manager from the list. From here, expand the option that says Universal Serial Bus controllers, then right-click on USB Root Hub and choose Properties.The next move is to select Power Management, then clear all the check boxes under “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.”Restart the Windows 10 computer and try using your gamepad again. Get rid of some plug-n-play devicesThere’s a chance the number of devices plugged into your computer is causing the problem, so what you need to do, then, is to remove them or just the ones you’re not using.Let’s face it, if a computer has enough ports, we’ll plug a host of things into the computer and never remove them even when they’re not in use.For the most part, these tips should do the job. However, should they fail to work, then the best means of moving forward may very well be to get a new gamepad.
I have a relatively up to date computer I had built for my observatory a few months ago with Windows 7 Pro installed. I use the computer for astronomical imaging with webcams and CCD long exposure cameras attached to my telescope. My newer webcams areUSB 3.0 and I had operated them from a HooToo 7-port USB 3.0 hub (HT-UH010) along with some USB 2.0 devices. All was working just fine under Windows 7.
Then came the Windows 10 upgrade. Now the device manager shows that I have the video camera installedand it is working properly when I am using the camera through the hub, but on attempting video capture I get an immediate 'capture failed' message.
On the other hand, when I hook up through one of the USB 3.0 ports on the mother board, the camera works justfine. The HooToo hub did not come with any software and was intended to run with the generic hub drivers. On the HooToo website is the disclaimer: 'Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8 (does NOT support Windows 8.1)', no mention of Windows 10. I wish I had notdone the Win10 upgrade. Can I go back? What about the newer computer that arrived with Win10 installed? Is this a bug that I can expect to be fixed in an update soon?
I suspect you have answered your own question - Windows 8.1 (therefore 10) is not supported by the device manufacturer. You would need to contact them about whether they plan address the issue. You say you have the HooToo UH010. The ASIX drivers they pointed to are for AX88179 device which is a USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet controller ( )Another HooToo model HT-UE01 does incorporate a Gigabit Ethernet controller, which could well be the AX88179.I suspect that the drivers they point to are only useful for the Ethernet controller component in the HT-UE01 which is not applicable with your model.If you choose to try the drivers suggested, use the Windows 8.1/8.0 32-bit/64-bit WHCK drivers setup program. Create a system restore point first.
Generic Usb Hub Driver Windows 7 32bit Download
I wondered about whether these drivers were for use of the device as just a USB hub. I downloaded them anyway and went out to my observatory this morning to install them. But just in case I had gotten an update that fixed the problem, I tried to run myUSB 3 cameras again, both from the computer's USB 3 ports and from the hub.
Darned if it didn't work. This was on the slightly older computer that was originally Win7 that had been upgraded to Win10.I then went to the other computer, the newer one that had Win10 installed originally, and tried it using its own hub and the USB 3 camera. Still did not work. I restarted it and tried again a few hours later.
Generic Usb Hub Driver Xp
This time it worked. Either Microsoft isfixing the problem with updates or my machines are figuring it out on their own. I had read on another forum that Microsoft was working on the drivers for the high speed generic USB hub in Windows 10.So, the driver question is moot. It works, so I don't need to try to fix it and take a chance of screwing it up.Clear tonight. If my system is still working, I'll do some lunar imaging.
