I updated from W7 to W10 this past weekend. Everything went fine after right today when I entered Steam and rFactor2 the wheel wasn't being detected. Not only that, it was as if windows wanted to detect the wheel but couldn't (wheel doing it's auto diagnosis moving right and left but stopping sooner than normally). Also the led at the gear lever remained off instead of lit.
After checking the hardware was fine, wires and no bad connections I checked windows config and found that it was not detecting the wheel as a Logitech G27 but as "Logitech Driving Force USB" (in my case).

I the Checked the web and found a posible reason to all of this. It seems some update within W10 ruins the config of the wheel.
The solution, I've just tried and got working (don't know how long it will last until W10 ruins it again), is to:


    - Uninstall the Logitech Gaming Software v.5.10 (Logitech Profiler).
    - Open Device Manager (Control Panel > System and Security > System > Device Manager).
    - Expand the collapsible tree for "Human Interface devices". Right-click on the "Logitech Driving Force EX USB" or any other "Logitech" related entries and select Uninstall".
    - Do the same thing for the entry "Logitech Driving Force EX USB (HID)".
    - Close the Device Manager and unplug the G27 Racing Wheel.
    - Restart the computer.
    - Reinstall the Logitech Gaming Software v.5.10.127

for x64 bit OS: ftp://ftp.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/joystick/lgs510_x64.exe
    - Plug the G27 wheel in a direct USB 2.0 port. (The reconfigure the profiler if necessary, e.g. removing the detection for games at startup)
    - Open the "Devices and Printers" section of Windows and check if the G27 Racing Wheel is properly detected.
