I am having an issue with some of my Winwing devices not showing in SimApp.  This is apparently related to Windows updating the driver to some version that causes SimApp to not recognize it beyond as a USB game controller.  In an FAQ they review uninstalling the driver, clearing the registry with a .bat file, and reinstalling...

I am on the latest build of Windows 11 and their instructions are not matching with what I'm finding.  They direct to Window>Devices.  I don't directly have a "Windows" menu option, and if I type devices, all I get is "bluetooth and other devices". 

The next steps are to open properties, select a driver tab, then uninstall.  This seems most like the Windows device manager, but I can't figure out how I could possible identify a specific device.  Under human interface device, I get a lot of generic names such as "HID-compliant consumer control device".  The game controller menu doesn't give me driver options.

Can anyone help me with how to uninstall the drivers a game controller?

 

I don't have or use Windows 11, but this will show you how to reach where you need to go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0SPErjWbLA

Once there, right-click the controller you need to uninstall and click "remove device". This will remove all the device drivers for that controller.

Now, without having that particular controller and without seeing their entire instructions, I can only speculate as to the proper procedures to follow after this step. Having said that, I would think they most likely are:

1) Unplug the malfunctioning controller,

2) Run their suggested registry-cleaning batch file*,

3) Reboot the system,

4) Plug the controller back in and let it reinstall.

*Unless you know what you are doing, editing the registry can easily result in damaging your system and even rendering it unable to work at all, and requiring a complete OS reinstallation. Using someone else's batch file to make changes to your registry can easily do the same. However, as long as the batch file comes from a trustworthy source, it is much easier to use that than to make manual changes.
