Saitek X52 - Problem with Win 10
« on: December 26, 2015, 08:07:55 PM »
You may encounter a problem with the Saitek X52 flight controller with Win 10. It seems the driver install will not work, the "next" button does not light up and you cannot install the drivers.  Here is the fix that Dan found:

1. Start the saitek driver installer, don't close the window that doesn't detect the joystick
2. When it shows the plug-me-in window, open Device Manager (Start > type: Device Manager)
3. Right-click the joystick (item with the yellow exclamation next to it's icon) and select "Update driver software..."
4. Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
5. Select " Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" (bottom of window)
6. Choose "USB Input Device" and click OK
7. Now go back to your saitek driver installer window.  "Next" should be clickable and your joystick should work.
