Catah Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Yesterday my friend suggested I get the drivers installed for my X65f throttle so that I could use the mouse cursor on it in DCS, so I went to the saitek downloads for drivers and tried installing it. Well, that proved to be a mistake as when I installed it my windows (10) suddenly became extremely slow and it took an eternity to process anything, eventually leading up to doing something like trying to open task manager not responding and making the entire computer nearly frozen. I completely removed the X65 from my devices and got rid of the driver and everything seemed to be back to normal - the issue now was that my pc no longer recognized the X65 and I can't use it. After some searching I found a way to reinstall a driver back into the throttle but it turned out to be the same driver which makes the computer unusable every time I install it. My request for help is this! If anyone knows a way in which I can just bring the X65 back to a default state that it's in when you first plug it in please let me know! I just want it to function without installing any of the specific saitek drivers from their website. It was working fine before, only the mouse cursor didn't function which honestly I don't care that much about. I just want to return the X65 to the "brand new" state where it has no drivers manually installed, just the default state. I can't figure out how to just have the pc recognize it again without putting in one of the "bad" drivers. Any help would be appreciated! I just want to get back to flying! Thanks. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Kayos Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Did you try Roll Back Driver from device manager? If you remove it from device manager, reboot and plug the x65f back in it should load the default drivers. What version of the driver are you using? I’ll check mine, it’s working well.

Kayos Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) The driver I am using which is working fine is Driver Version 7.0.53.6. I uploaded here for you: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsfcXaaoezzUb-IyD_SUKrz7Jlw Edited December 22, 2017 by Kayos [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Catah Posted December 22, 2017 Author Posted December 22, 2017 I did look to see if I could roll back the driver but that option was not available for me. I did try removing and plugging it back in but it would not install any default drivers. It just said there was no driver currently on the device. I would check what version of driver I was using but as of 30 minutes ago I realized this is beyond having the driver installed now. Even if I uninstall it and unplug the X65 my computer becomes unusable and extremely slow. So now I am writing this from my phone. I can tell you I got the driver from this website: http://www.saitek.com/uk/down/drivers.php Right now I just want my computer to work... I think I may have to do a system reset. EDIT: Ok, my computer stopped being terrible for a second and I checked which driver it is. It's the same one you gave me. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Catah Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 Update: I just reverted my computer back to a restore point. It works ok now so anyone reading this thread doesn't need to bother with it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
