I am aware that this post is old, but I still suffer from this bleeping crash that apparently occurs when disconnecting the Saitek Combat pedals (I do not have this problem with the X-52 Joystick). Anyhow, I might have a workaround for those who still have this problem when it occurs randomly without disconnecting: -Go to Device Manager (rightclick on Start and choose Device manager)
-Find your pedals and rightclick on the USB device and choose properties.
-Under the Power Management TAB untick "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."
Win 10 has major issues with this on many devices (Or the driver developers have major issues with this feature on win 10). Anyhow, I am sorry if this has been solved elsewhere and that I am revoking an old post, but if there is another fix out there please let me know. I have still not found anything that works.
