After updating to Windows 10 May 2020 Update (2004), my Logitech F710 Stopped working.

The workaround on installing it as Xbox Controller, which worked for the previous Windows versions does not seem to work anymore.

After trying to install it as Xbox controller it stays as "Wireless Gamepad F710" under "Other devices"

Hi,

I tried all hints described in this thread without luck - F710 refused to work on my gaming PC.

As a last resort I plugged in wireless adapter into my HP laptop (also running Win10 2004) and to my surprise it was detected correctly.

Comparing registry entries I noticed that key Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\046DC21F0305 contains only 1 REG_BINARY value on my PC (osvc: 00 00) while on HP laptop there are 2 REG_BINARY values:

osvc: 01 90

SkipContainerIdQuery: 01 00

From device manager I removed "Wireless Gamepad F710" device, unplugged wireless receiver, restarted PC. When it started I set the values of the above key as on my HP laptop.

After wireless receiver was plugged in it was detected correctly:

This was the only change I had to do.

    This worked for me on the first try: asapguide.

    No need to poke around in registry and ****, just make your PC believe it is connecting to an xbox360 controller the way described there. Did not notice any difference, but expect to do this in like once in 2 months.

    Hi all,

    in my case the solution works not sustainably, which means I have to redo the workaround after every gaming session. 

    Does anyone happen to know if Win10 20H2 update is going to solve the bug sustainably??
