I use Saitek ProFlight yoke, throttle quadrant and rudder pedals. Saitek drivers are notorious in Windows 10 for being very finicky. I have my throttle quad plugged into the yoke since it's not USB (the older game connector) but I have my rudder pedals and the yoke both plugged into a powered USB hub. I'd recommend a powered hub for Saitek gear. If you don't have one right now at least try plugging the rudders into a separate USB port. You are also better off selecting a USB 2.0 port not the 3.0.
I also use the paid version of FSUIPC to map and calibrate all flight controls so I can have separate profiles for different aircraft and/or aircraft types. That shouldn't be relevant to the recognition issue though. There are many other nuances and tricks that can be employed to get the Saitek yoke, throttle, rudders all up and running. But once that is accomplished, I've been very happy with the gear, especially for the price point.
