Hi folks,

Since the latest Windows 11 update my Logitech rudder pedals are causing MSFS to crash and not to be recognised. I downloaded Logitech drivers which I thought may have fixed the problem but just had another crash. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yup, after the latest Windows 11 update, there was an issue with the Logitech drivers.  I had to go into Windows Security and turn off Memory Integrity under 'Windows Security/Device Security.  Until Logitech updates their drivers (if ever) that seems to fix it.

Urgh, what a joke. I've had a look at that Eric but I'm not at all keen - it looks really important, that Memory Integrity function. There's definitely no other way, no?

I am hoping it's not a permanent solution but I have not found another way other than to maybe roll back the Windows update (?).  I don't like disabling things either but it was either that or no rudder pedals...😑  Were you getting a pop-up box showing a driver error?

Initially, no; I didn't have rudder pedal drivers installed and just had standard Windows ones, but they started crashing and then rudder pedals not being recognised, so I downloaded Logitech rudder pedal drivers from somewhere and was able to do a full flight yesterday. Then earlier on got a pop-up with driver error and in Event Viewer I can see RudderPedals_Profiler.exe failed

This isn't the first time that a windows update broke something, and it had to be rolled back, and it probably won't be the last. 

I thought I would try turning off the power management for all USB devices in Device Management so computer can’t turn off devices to save power - might that make a difference?

Saitek drivers have been appalling from day one. Logitech appear to be just as bad. Expensive gear that can't be used without some complicated nerdy fix. What a joke. Remind me to never, ever, buy a Logitech product again.

To be honest I should have invested in proper rudder pedals by now I'm just being tight by keeping my Saitek/Logitech ones. I did manage a flight GCRR-EGCC earlier with the above set and not touching Memory Integrity. Will continue to monitor

I have been using those pedals for around three years, zero problems. You got something else going on. I heard on Youtube this afternoon that there is something wrong with the latest Windows 11 update.

Not a problem with the update as such. The Logitech/Saitek drivers fail to meet the new core security parameters - and need to be updated. Logitech can't seem to be able to get their heads around it.
