Jarbo says he couldn't get his warthog throttle to work either until he plugged it into a powered USB 1.0 Hub. 

I also use a Powered USB Hub for my warthog but it's USB 2.0

Amazon makes a powered 20Watt USB 2.0 hub for less than $20

While I dont know what USB I have it in...I had now issues with my Warthog :uhoh I can say it WAS NOT in the VR Sensor(Blue USB3) ports :uhoh What "drivers" did you re-install? I didnt install any drivers...was plug and play? I know Seitech program for mapping key/buttons buggered my stuff up. It ran perfectly after I un-installed their drivers for this. Not sure if the Warthog had any mapping soft wear like the Seitech did? Never needed it so.... :uhoh

Although you rebooted, Windows 10 uses "Fast startup" by default which means it will save your current settings and use them at next boot no matter if they're fully working or not. A one time bypass for that feature is to press the Shift button while clicking Shutdown. That simple trick has fixed various issues.

Ordered a usb hub, tried shutdown did not work  it’s crazy to see it in drop down with all lights working on throttle base and still not be recognized. Thanks for quick response

Rename the Settings folder in AH. It will rebuild itself.

Does it show up in Windows 'Device and Printers'?  It should.
If it does, then you can open the settings from there to make sure everything is working Ok.

As far as Fast Start-up, that can be disabled under Power Management.

OP said AH sees it. He didn't say if he assigned or calibrated axis.

I mentioned that Jarbo says his Warthog only works when plugged into a powered USB 1.0 Hub, I use my warthog with a powered USB 2.0 hub but my stick is at least a few years newer than his.

Mine will not work when I plug it into a USB 3.0 port on my desktop.
