HID could not be migrated

[SGT Coyle]

So got a Thrustmaster Warthog Stick and Throttle. Been using this on Win7pro for years. Updated to Win10 pro a couple of weeks ago. Had some issues with other usb devices stopping and starting intermittently. So did some looking around and found that it was related to how windows does power management. So I did some cleaning up of my usb hubs and teasting weather my devices were working and all seemed well. I opened windows controller settings window and all the buttons, switches, and axis were working.

 

And then...

I hit the button to calibrate and accepted it. I knew I messed up, but I really #&%!ed up. So now I have an issue were the usb ports were I have the Warthog plugged into won't migrate. What ever that means. The Device and Printers window shows two generic controller icons (replacing the nice Thrusmaster icons that were there before). Look at properties, in the events tab I see this:

I've tried to reinstall drivers, reinstall firmware, remover devices and reinstall, and reinstall win10pro.

 

So, any thoughts?

I just re-installed Win10 to fix an issue where my Warthog Joystick would work in joy.cpl "properties" window (or in game).

 

When I plug in the Joystick, it registers, and looks like a valid HID device. It appears in the list of joy.cpl devices. When I hit "properties" and the sub-window opens up, where once there was the axis and button identifiers, there was nothing. (The throttle was working fine).

 

I am not sure what went wrong, but it happened when I got a Roccat ISKU force keyboard, which is itself a HID game controller, and as it turns out, installs vJoy (which I had already installed).

 

Now I has some success with this procedure: http://ts.thrustmaster.com/faqs/eng/thr_eng_00140.pdf (but only if you followed each, and every part of the procedure to the letter, including the reboots). But it was not a permanent fix across reboots.

 

One very interesting thing was that even though the control panel could not see any axis of buttons for the joystick, running the Logitech "DIView" program, I could see the axis and buttons responding. So there seemed to be some driver issue blocking the joystick working in Win10, rather that a physical fault.

 

Reinstalling drivers and removing all my HID game devices sort of helped, as in sometimes the joystick would work, but it never survived a reboot, so I did a completely fresh install from scratch, and everything seems happy (for the last 24 hours, touch wood!).

 

One other thing I have done is used the on-board USB headers to add USB ports to riser cards - http://www.dx.com/p/usb-2-0-4-port-hub-expansion-cable-grey-black-multi-colored-30cm-302359#.WPMcwaLhVjE - so I dont need to use hubs for my critical stuff.

Thermal,

Thanks for the response

Have been in touch with Thrusmaster Tech Support. They are of the opinion that if it were a firmware issue, then the controllers wouldn't show on devices at all.

I have enough USB 2 ports to to accommodate all my devices, but thats a good point that they should be plugged directly into the machine.

 

Can someone post what a Win10 directory for a TM Warthog should look like?
