Joystick stops working on Gameex 16.10

Recommended Posts

After I upgraded the gameex frontend to version "16.10" a problem started to appear that I had not noticed before. I can not say well if it started in version 16.10 because it was a few months without using gameex. may have started the problem in earlier versions.
I have always configured my XBOX ONE joystick to work within the gameex menus.
The problem does not always happen. But it happens quite often.
The joystick sometimes just stops responding. I press all the buttons and nothing happens. I quit gameex and open it again and the joystick works again.

Ps..My computer used updated Windows 10.
I am using the joystick connected through the wirelles receiver.
I use gameex for several years. This is the first time I've seen this happen.

I have seen this happen with Windows 10 updates.

To fix what I encountered, I had to go into Windows Device Manager and open the properties for each of the USB roothubs and disable "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power "

Also, check your Power Settings and disable USB Selective Suspend.

Thank you!!!

Weird...
This option was already disabled !!:blink:
And yet the joystick is still stopping responding at times.

 

The first part of his instructions I had already done. And yet the joystick stopped responding within gameex.
Wow life !! One more thing to take my patience inside gameex !!! :(

I am not able to replicate the issue. You may want to try disabling all power management to see a positve impact. 

If I was encountering this, I would check the Event Viewer to see if anything stands out for the date and time it occurs. Also l would check my BIOS to see if there are any settings that are related to the USB ports suspending power to the hubs.

I made it. I'll watch to see if it worked. I checked the "prioritize performance" setting. I will observe. If it does not work I will check the BIOS options, just as you suggested.
