Logitech Peripherals Not Working After MSFS July 27th Update
All

After the July 27th 2021 update, my Logitech 810 Keyboard, M525 Mouse, X56 HOTAS throttle and stick do not respond. Only the mouse left click works sometimes. Of course,
the instruction below do not work. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have followed these instructions:

Here are common solutions if you are having issues with buttons not working properly or peripherals not being detected in Microsoft Flight Simulator on Steam.



DISABLE STEAM INPUT CONFIGURATION
This can happen if you have enabled Steam Input Devices on Steam

In Steam, click on the Big Picture Mode button in the upper-right corner
Click on the Library button
Select Microsoft Flight Simulator
Click on the Manage Game button in the left-hand column
Click on the Controller Options button
Click the Steam Input Per-Game dropdown box
Select Forced Off
Launch Microsoft Flight Simulator to confirm that your controller is recognized


WHEN TO PLUG IN THE CONTROLLER
Connect the peripheral before starting Microsoft Flight Simulator. Do not connect it while the sim is starting as this may lead to issues.



DISCONNECT OTHER DEVICES
Disconnect all other USB devices from the PC before launching the game. Some USB devices could be mistakenly detected as a controller.



REINSTALL THE DRIVERS OF YOUR CONTROLLER
Follow these steps to reinstall the drivers:

Right-click the Windows start button
Select Device Manager
Find your controller in the device list
Right-click the controller and select Uninstall device
Restart the PC with the controller plugged in
The drivers will be re-installed automatically

If the mouse moves within the sim, then it is working.

I had to uninstall and re-install the Logitech plugin after the update using the newest version of course, for my switch panels, etc.

Are you sure that what you are seeing is not due to the change in the controllers the update brought?

Have you tried setting "legacy" controls under accessibility?

Thanks....Operator Error. Prior to the Update, the buttons in Control Options would flash green when actuated. After the upgrade they do not flash green anymore. So I thought they did not recognize the controllers, keyboard, mouse and X56 HOTAS.
