Logitech on Windows 10 -- watch out

Post by kerryland » Sun Jun 12, 2016 1:54 pm

Lots of people (including my father) have been bitten by recent Win10 update that has screwed Logitech drivers. If you find yourself having a problem with your wheel you might like to run "WheelDriverCleaner.exe"

Not sure if I got hit, but I have Logitech KB/Mouse/Headset and Wheel.

The KB/Mouse/Headset software updated which seems to have magically fixed the constant G930 reboots yay!

I then found my G25 was now a Driving Force! Uninstalled and re-installed the Logitech Profiler and all is sweet.

I had the exact same thing with my G27, except everytime I plugged it in I needed to reinstall the driver. Somehow it now just works fine. Weird.

Mine does this now on a regular basis and reinstalling the profiler didn't seem to work for me initially.
Now have a 100% fix that only takes a minute.
Run the profiler installer but don't click next, (leave up) go to your temp (start menu > type %temp% enter)
Sort by date modified and find the newest folder - you should have extracted logitech driver / setup files there - copy that folder somewhere safe for keeping.

In that folder go to:
\2b-LGS-x64\Common64\Logitech\WMDrivers
Right click-> install on the wmjoyhid.INF file

Launch the WMWizard.exe file and run through / wait for it to finish.
It may not 'detect' when you run through the thing but don't worry and close.
(It should make your wheel do the auto calibrate turning lock-to-lock thing)

Unplug G27, and re-inserted into USB 2.0 port.
Mario and myself have done this numerous times now .. not that we should have to, fricken logitech need to sort their shit out :(

There is a fix, it's a setting you change in your device controller settings. I'll try find the page next time I'm on the PC

I can't find the bloody page that I found the fix on, or remember exactly what it was I did. But it was changing something on the USB port on how it detects them, but you had to change it from the Win10 Detection wizard to I think it was just called USB wizard or something along those lines.

It was on a steam community forum thread but I cant find it for the life of me

EDIT found the video, post below

Nevermind, I found the Youtube Video on how to fix it! (At least its what I did)

Everytime theres a major Win10 update - like today - you may have to change it back again.

Make sure you use the same usb port every time, otherwise you can end up with the original driving force
