CH Pedals and W10 Issue

[Toten]

I recently installed W10 and now have a problem where my CH Pro Pedals aren't recognized on start up. I then have to pull the USB plug for them out and then re-attach it for them to be recognized and everything is then fine for the rest of the night. Anybody else have any similar problems?

My CH pedals run fine under Win 10.

Check:

1. That Pedals are connected to a USB 2 port on the MB.

2. In Device Manager, make sure that the Power Options don't allow the device to be powered off by Win 10 to "save power". I had to go into each USB controller and usb device and adjust the power options thusly.

 

If you use Control Manager, make sure you make the device manager - power options change when control manager is running and you have one logical device active. Look in the Game Controller applet to make sure you've got the correct device for the combined mapped controller.

Yea, I have the same problem. My pedals are recognized by Windows and shows up in "game controllers", but they doesn't register any input until i reconnect them. Setting power save options as jjohnson241 suggests doesn't help in my case. Thinking it may have something to do with the Motherboard/USB-chipset drivers in combination with Win 10?

 

I'm on a Asus P67 Sabretooth board. Whats your motherboard Toten?

I was able to install my CH controllers without any trouble in Windows 10. It recognized all the devices. Of course you need the CH Control Manager software to calibrate them, that also installed fine.

One problem I did have was I had them connected through a powered USB hub. Previously I had them on an unpowered hub and this didn't cause any problems. But I think the powered version must flicker off sometime when the machine is started and that caused the devices to get renumbered by Windows which assigns them "Joy1 Joy2" designations. Not a problem in DCS I don't think but in Rise of Flight and BoS this was a problem. Changing back to the unpowered hub solved the problem.

So if the devices are being disconnected maybe that's why. Are you using a hub?

Had the same problem...

 

I finally installed the CH Control Manager 2 days ago. Yesterday it seemed fixed after 2 reboots, but I'm still testing.. May have to remove all devices and drivers if this doesn't work.

 

EDIT:

Just got home and tested again. As soon as Win10 loaded the destop, I tested them in the CH Control Manager, and they did not work, and about 20 seconds later I got the blue screen of death :(

 

So, after it rebooted, I waited a little longer.. Then tested them again, and they work fine now. Maybe I need to just wait a minute or something? But it seems kind of flaky at this point.
