Flat Roofing Repairs and Roofer in Isleworth and Brentford

Last night I took the plunge and upgraded my desktop PC from Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bit) to Windows 10 Pro (64-bit).

The whole process took less than an hour, and as far as I could see most of my peripherals were still working after the upgrade: laser printer, scanner, webcam.

Of course, the one thing that I forgot to test were my pair of , which my three boys use most to play LEGO games. The controllers couldn’t be detected.

I downloaded the latest drivers from the Logitech website, which they claimed were Windows 10-compatible. That didn’t work.

Here’s what I did to get them to work; I found the to be very useful.

Remove both nano receivers from the PC (I have mine marked 1 and 2, so I know to which gamepad they belong). Switch the gamepad to D mode. Insert the nano receiver. Windows 10 installs drivers for Rumblepad 2. Remove the nano receiver. Switch the gamepad to X mode. Insert the nano receiver. Windows 10 installs drivers for Wireless Gamepad F710. Press Windows key Pause/Break to open System screen. Click Device Manager. Locate Wireless Gamepad F710. Right-click and select “Update Driver Software”. Click “Browse my computer for driver software”. Click “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”. Select Xbox 360 Peripherals. Select Xbox 360 Controller for Windows. Click Next. On the Update Driver Warning dialog, click Yes. Allow the driver to install. You should now see Xbox 360 Controller for Windows listed. (Optional: if you have more than one controller, keep the working one plugged in but now do the same, starting at step #1, for the other controller.)

The controller now works perfectly for me in the LEGO games. Obviously, I’ll report back if there are any further issues.
