The problem:
When DCS is running all of my USB devices are recognized but least 2 do not respond. (Only with DCS running example Elite Dangerous works fine) If I unplug/plug(or rescan) the non responsive input is recognized but still no inputs are detected. (when taking the screenshots my rudder pedals, Arduino controller, and both of my MFD's did not work. The previous game launch with no physical changes it was my stick and 1 MFD. It never seems to repeat or have a common culprit.
All USB inputs are detected and work correctly through windows game controller setting. They all worked for at least 6 months with no changes being made.
As soon as I close DCS all inputs work correctly, if I open it again they stop working again.
Nothing other than updates to windows and DCS when problem began(updated graphics drives tonight as a last ditch effort).
The background:
I have played this game since 2018 with the occasional issues that we have most all ran across. I have usually waited 2 weeks and searched the forums and found answers or the issues were automatically corrected from ED/Windows update etc.
This problem has come about after not having the time to take to the skies for almost 2 months. No hardware or software changes have been made.
I have checked that all USB drivers are updated, windows, DCS, video drivers are up to date and installed all windows optional drivers, thinking perhaps it was a windows problem over DCS until I tried Elite Dangerous with success.
Any help to get this resolved would be greatly appreciated. I will provide answers as fast as I can, but please understand I am not always to my computer but will be as prompt as possible. I did not know of what files to attach as there is no error/crash etc.
Thanks for any help,
