It seems the enforced driver signing has become militant.
Logitech F710 gamepad vs Xbox controller for windows bhushannagpure059 Aug 6, 2014, 3:00 PM I guess everyone will suggest xbox controller for windows, but its question of warranty. Xbox 360 has to be, hands down, the best controller around. It comes with driver software for the PC, but when I plugged it into my PC it's plug and play, no need to install the drivers.

Jul 01, 2018 That function also doesn't work like it used to in previous versions of Windows, there is no option to add a game controller like previously only Xbox and Logitech is limited to a driver set from the mid/early 2000s and pretty much only for steering wheels there were 3 options.

I would have asked this sooner, but I do like to entertain and exhaust all 'fixes' first before asking for help. That and I've worked a lot of hours.
All other questions regarding this aren't really answering the question, why will the drivers not truly migrate and forcing it to become an Xbox controller; why is that?
My Logitech F710 game controller used to work fine and install as normal before Windows 10 version 1709 (Fall Creators Update). By fine, I mean install all applicable drivers using the Logitech installation package 'lgs510_x64' and when viewed in Device Manager it displayed as 'Logitech F710', no migration issues, functioned on D_Input but not X_Input.
From my understanding somewhere between version 1709 and the next Windows 10 revision; version 1803 (April 2018 Update) that all changed. My Motherboard failed within that period, so I had to do a complete fresh install of Windows 10 (as you should do when installing onto a new motherboard!), erasing all data on my hard-drives using zero-fill software as per each HDD manufacturers specs prior to the re-installation ensuring a totally clean install.
Now however, using the exact same software package 'lgs510_x64', initial installation resulted it in being displayed as Logitech F710 but had the little yellow triangle on it, not functioning well and the drivers not migrated listed in events under the properties tab. After some effort, not only does my controller refuse to install correctly, it now displays it in Device Manager as 'Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2' when on D_Input selection and Xbox controller when on X_Input (please note: on this selection before it would disconnect from the PC), the drivers appear to be installed and working at this point. Device Manager now reports this device is working properly, but when you delve deeper it really isn't. The driver package hasn't migrated at all as listed under the events tab in properties. Also to note under the Details tab listed property No install class = <true>
Device HIDVID_046D&PID_C2196&265274ac&3&0000 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.

After much web searching I came across the fact the Enforced Driver Signing will be potentially blocking the installation of these drivers, which I really believe to be true now. No matter what I do I cannot get the current driver package to install correctly and never migrates.
Things I've tried:
1: Updating via the update driver tab in properties, full auto mode and manually searching.
2: Uninstall and reinstall of driver package plus reboot.
3: Download the driver package again and tried steps 1 -3 several times (definition of insanity)
4: Disabling enforced driver signing via the F7 Recovery troubleshooting option upon restart, it does nothing.
5: Disabling enforced driver signing in the actual elevated administrators account(why is this even a thing) using an elevated command prompt 'BCDEDIT /set nointegritychecks ON' , it always states the operation has completed successfully, it does nothing.
How do I fix this?
How do I migrate the drivers that existed before and are now installed along side with the software package, and get Windows 10 to actually use them?
Then there's my internal card reader...
Logitech Cordless Precision Controller (Xbox)
Logitech's first stab at wireless controllers for the Xbox resulted in a clunky design that cost a small fortune, but its newer Cordless Precision Controller changes all that. It's sleeker--almost like a wireless version of Microsoft's Controller S--and despite being significantly cheaper ($49 list), it has excellent build quality.
The controller uses the same basic layout as the Controller S, with twin analog thumbsticks, a digital directional pad below the left thumbstick, and four colored buttons arranged in a cross. The black and white buttons, the Back button, and the Start button are also right where Controller S users would expect to find them, but transitioning to this unit takes a little practice. The directional pad wobbles a bit compared to the tight pad on the Controller S, making it slightly more difficult to pull off precise moves in games such as Soul Calibur II. The analog thumbsticks are a little taller than those found in the first-party controllers and have rounded thumbpads instead of ones with concave tips, like Microsoft's controllers have. The height difference is subtle, but it actually provides more precise control in racing and first-person shooters. Because of the rounded pads, in dozens of hours of usage our thumbs never slipped out of position.
The springs in the triggers are weaker than those in the Controller S and take some getting used to. The right trigger on the stick we tested was so sensitive that merely resting our index finger on it caused it to respond. This isn't a big deal in racing games, but it can cause problems in first-person shooters, as a slight nudge can cause your gun to fire when you don't want it to. The lighter pull was actually a boon in racing games, where the triggers must be held down for several minutes, but this isn't the best controller for playing games such as Halo 2.

The Cordless Precision has no slots to accommodate memory cards or standard Xbox Live Communicators. Instead, Logitech includes a small base unit that provides those slots and plugs into one of the Xbox's controller ports. You can plug the Communicator dongle into the base unit and stretch the headset's cord across the room--which pretty much eliminates the whole advantage of the controller's wireless design. A better solution is to invest in Logitech's excellent Cordless Headset, which liberates you from the tyranny of cables once and for all.

Button-layout and headset issues notwithstanding, this is arguably the best wireless Xbox controller on the market. Its 2.4GHz wireless technology gives it tremendous range, letting the signal penetrate nearly any intervening object. The Cordless Precision's response times are so fast that it's virtually indistinguishable from a wired controller during play. There's no on/off switch; the unit automatically shuts down after being idle for 5 minutes. We got more than 50 hours of use out of two AA batteries with the Rumble feature enabled the entire time. The rumble feedback isn't incredibly strong compared to that of Microsoft's wired controllers, but it's excellent for a wireless unit, especially considering the controller's low battery usage. The Cordless Precision is an excellent value for the money.
