TARGET not deactivating physical devices when TM virtual combo active

[Davee]

The fix WORKED for me. Great!!

 

I use third party software to uninstall the store and clean the registry.

For those who don't want to add third party software, or just want to keep the M$ store.

 

Regarding killing M$ store:
Browse to: C:\Windows\System32
Copy "taskkill" paste to desktop as "shortcut"
In properties window:
TARGET: C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /f /im WinStore.App.exe
START IN: C:\Windows\System32

Awesome,

Thanks Catseye and =Panther=

Sorry for necroposting, but I would add another workaround that still involves disabling Windows Store but perhaps in an easier way.

 

Just go to Settings->Privacy->Background Apps, disable the Windows Store app and reboot the PC. Now Windows Store won't start at boot anymore, and TARGET will be free to hide the peripherals. Other Windows Store capabilities should still be available, but I didn't test them thoroughly as I don't use it. All I know is that TARGET is loading the script fast now, and the hardware peripherals are correctly hidden.

Lorthirk,

 

 

Excellent! I like your solution. I find it annoying to have to re-install the Windows Store when I am forced to get an App there.

Panthers script works like a charm

I noticed that if you run the target script upon launch of windows FIRST.. you can fix this issue too. as soon as you log into windows run any target script that includes the controllers and you will then have only one virtual joystick show up and not 3 (throttle joystick and virtual)

I have also seen other apps that interfere, like Pointy's joystick test tool, it needs to be closed before the TARGET script will finish

Do you know? This issue with TARGET and M$ Store was solved (for example with W10 2004)?

I asked because this store is require for Microsoft Flight Simulator. I unistalled M$ Store long time ago.

is that a statement or a question ?

 

I just set the store service to manual ... which means when i go into the store it fires up and does its thing
