Windows 10 detects it when I plug in its wireless receiver and turn it on; but in Windows Device Manager, the gamepad shows with a yellow caution icon and is said to not be working properly.

In Device Manager, I have also tried: • Automatically updating the gamepad's driver: Device Manager indicates that it cannot find an appropriate driver for it. • Browsing to the folder under C: Users Joe appdata Local Temp extracted by Logitech Gaming Software's InstallShield installer to update the gamepad's driver, indicating that Device Manager should check subfolders for an appropriate driver too: Device Manager again indicates that it cannot find an appropriate driver.

I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing about this. I've been cruising the help forums both on here and on the Logitech site, and nothing's worked so far. Here's what's up. I can't get my machine to install the drivers for the Logitech F710 gamepad. I'm running Win7 Ultimate - 64 bit Here's what I've done. I've plugged in my controller, but it wouldn't work. I then figured that it might be a connection problem between the receiver and the game pad, so I went and downloaded F710Connection.exe from the Logitech site. I opened that, and unplugged the receiver, then took out a battery then plugged in the receiver, then replaced the battery, it told me I was connected, but my computer didn't care, so I figured it's the driver. I opened up the 'update the device drivers' in the control panel and notice that there is a yellow warning exclamation under 'Other Devices > Wireless Game Pad so I clicked it and tried to make it get the driver from the internet again.
