Ways to Fix Logitech Gamepad F310 Failed to Install Drivers?

First things first, try to connect Gampead with another PC. This will give you an idea of whether the issue lies with your PC or your Gamepad.

If the device works on other PCs and the issue lies on your end, try the following fixes –

Solution #1 – Run the Troubleshooter on Windows.

If the issue you face has occurred after a recent Windows Update, you can use the troubleshooter to resolve the error. Here’s what you have to do.

• Press Windows + I on your Windows PC to open settings.
• In Settings, look for Troubleshoot.

• Look for Other troubleshooters to find more troubleshooting options in the Troubleshoot settings.

• Click on the Run button next to Windows Update. The troubleshooter will scan Updates for issues and, if any are detected, will fix them.

• Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the troubleshooting process.

Once it is over, restart your PC and try re-plugging in your device to verify whether it works. If the issue persists, move on to the next solution.

Solution #2 – Manually Install Your Gamepad Drivers

If your device fails to install drivers when plugged in, there’s nothing to worry about, as you can visit the official website to get drivers for Logitech gaming Software.

Here’s what you have to do –

• Go to the website.
• Search for Logitech Gamepad F310 and look for available drivers and software to install.

• Click the Download Now button to download driver files on your PC.
• Logitech provides a direct installable file, which means you do not have to follow lengthy instructions, double-click, and start installing the drivers.
• Once the drivers are installed, restart your computer and do not remove your device.
• As soon as the PC reboots, unplug and re-plug the device to find out if it works.

If it works, it is fine. However, there is one added step to this solution. Generally, the software you get has a preset driver setting that installs the available version of the driver, not the latest one.

If the PC recognizes your device after fixing the software solution by Logitech, but the performance is not up to the mark, quickly check your device for driver updates. The easiest way you can do it is by using Advanced Driver Updater. Here is how to use it –

• Download and install the application on your PC. You can find the download button below.

• Run the Scan to find outdated drivers on your PC. Click on Start Scan Now to initiate the scan.

Solution #3 – Uninstall the Unrecognized Device & Reconnect

If you have got an error that says the USB device was not recognized on connecting the Gamepad, the best thing to do is remove the device completely. This will give it another chance to connect and install the drivers through plug-and-play. Here’s how to do it –

• Press Windows + R to open Run on Windows
• In Run, use the command devmgmt.msc to open the device manager.

• In the Device Manager, look for the Universal Serial Bus Controller. Expand it to find a USB root hub. You can also find an Unknown Device listed there. That Unknown device is your Gamepad.

• Double-click on the device to access its Properties. Here navigate to drivers, and you will have the option to Uninstall Device.
• Click on it and follow the instructions on the screen to remove the affected device.

As soon as you have completed the uninstallation of the USB root hub. The default drives will be installed.
