Controls unresponsive (help)

[deondredaniel]

Recently I have installed the Justflight L1011 into FSX:SE (FSX Steam), the problem arises during when I switch to the taskbar and back to the flight simulator my joystick and pedals become unresponsive. I find it infuriating that I have to go restart the sim whenever the problem occurs, is there perhaps a way to fix this issue? (I use the Extreme3DPRO joystick and the PROPEDALS, prior to the Extreme3DPro I used the Logitech X52 H.O.T.A.S joystick and encountered the same problem)

I don't know if it will help, but a friend occasionally had an unresponsive set of controls, and unplugging from the USB port, waiting a few moments, then plugging back in cured his problem each time (for a while).

Try this:

 

Device Manager -> Select every USB Device -> (right-click) -> Properties -> Power Management

The shown option should be UNCHECKED.
