Logitech Gamepad F310 not detected

Hi folks,

I come with an issue I've spent hours trying to solve, to no avail. 

I own a Logitech F310 that's been working fine until I had to clean-install windows 10 yesterday. Now the thing won't connect. 

When I plug it in I get nothing, not the chime that you hear when you plugged an USB, not the chime you hear when you UNplug an USB. I don't get a message saying the USB is not recognized, I don't get anything. I have three USB ports in my laptop (HP Pavilion gaming), and the three of them work for every other hardware I plug in, except for this gamepad. The gamepad works fine in other computers too. I've been looking online for solutions to this, so far I've tried:

1. Switching back and forth from X to D input
2. Re-installing USB drivers
3. Changing USB power settings (unchecked "allow to turn off to save energy" and disabled "selective suspend setting"
4. Power cycling
5. Do all this after a clean boot
6. Installing the Logitech official driver and software, in which during a stage it does try to recognize plugged in gamepads. During recognition I hear the chime of USB plugging in, and immediately after the chime of USB unplugging. The software ends saying I don't have a gamepad connected.

None of these work. NOW, this one time when I did a clean boot AND from a clean boot I used the Logitech software I did get it to work for a while (even played PES for a few minutes), but it disconnected by itself and never worked again.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is to re-install Windows 10, which I don't want to do because its a bit cumbersome.

If anyone has any idea or clue about this mystery, it will be appreciated.

Thanks !!
