I know I am jumping a little late on this thread.... I have been having problems with my PC for weeks while trying to play games, some on Steam, some not (iRacing). Initially, I blamed the issues on my old Logitech G25 wheel after a recent Windows update messed up the Logitech drivers but the problem was intermittent and somewhat random. I spent MANY hours trying to resolve various menu freezes and controller issues. I even did a complete fresh install of Windows 10 in an attempt to resolve the issues. Most of my games (Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, Euro Truck Simulator, Dirt Rally, Race Room Experience and even iRacing) would randomly freeze while loading various menus and in particular on controller configuration pages.... Assetto Corsa became completely useless could not configure wheel due to system hangs). Other games would hang or freeze for a minute or two. Today, while making unrelated changes to my Gaming Rig, I unplugged my K55 Keyboard and noticed my Logitech G25 Force feedback wheel move (calibrate) itself at the same time.... for no apparent reason... this got me thinking. I plugged in a different keyboard (leaving the K55 unplugged) and WOW!!! All of my issues solved in one go! NO MORE FREEZES. In hindsight, I started using the 55 about the same time the problems started (was given the keyboard by a family member because of an upgrade) and just never put two and two together until now. Hopefully this post helps someone else resolve "Game Controller" issues. Safe to say, the K55 will NOT have a happy ending!
