After I uninstalled the driver, I reinstalled it, and paired my wiimote and everything, but the wiimote no longer works in software it used to work in. #54

I've restarted my PC, unpaired and then paired the wiimote, and it still won't work in the software (GlovePIE, JoyToKey)

Do you have a solution for this?

Are you sure the driver is uninstalled? I have the issue, I thought it was uninstalled, but it wasn't and when I try to uninstall it doesn't remove the driver.

So, did you uninstall the driver? Do you want to uninstall it?

Open the Control Center, then in the dock panel Tools > Installer to open up the installer dialog. What does it say for the device driver? If it is still installed hit uninstall to try to remove it once again. After a restart connect your Wii Remotes and check the device manger which driver is actually loaded for the Wii Remotes (look them up under “Human Interaface Devices”).

If that didn't work either, open a cmd or powershell console with admin privileges. Run pnputil.exe -e to list all installed PnP driver packages and look for the package that is published by me. Then run pnputil.exe -d oem#.inf to finally uninstall the package. However this method won't remove any registry and Apps and Features entries, so use this as a last resort.

For me, I uninstalled using the Control centre, and when I tried to reinstall, but it keeps giving me this message image

I've tried using power shell PNPutil.exe to try find the driver, but there's nothing. an I don't kno what's stopping the reinstall.
