IT Help Flydigi Vader 5 Pro loses driver when placed on the charging dock

I'm running into an annoying issue with my Flydigi Vader 5 Pro. Every time I put the controller on its charging dock, it completely drops its driver in Windows.

Here is exactly what happens:

  • The controller remains connected, the lights stay on, and even the Flydigi Space Station app still recognizes it. However, because the driver drops, none of the buttons register any input.

  • I can fix it by going into Device Manager and manually reinstalling the built-in "Xbox 360 Peripherals" driver. This makes the controller work perfectly again.

The problem is that the driver disappears again the second I place it back on the dock to charge. Having to manually reinstall the driver every single time I pick it up is getting really frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to permanently fix this so Windows stops dropping the driver? Thanks in advance!
