We have confirmed that Joystick-To-Mouse will run as normal, but does not receive input events from the selected Joystick/Game controller, and hence, will not move the mouse cursor, or perform button events on Windows 10 with this update. We have also confirmed that operation is correct on v1903, so this is a problem introduced by Microsoft with their updates (possibly related to "Updates to improve security when using input devices (such as a mouse, keyboard, or pen)"). Joystick-To-Mouse has worked for years on Windows 10, so this is an unfortunate situation created by Microsoft. You may wish to check for updates, or contact Microsoft technical support, as there are various Knowledge Base updates that address issues introduced by this Feature Update, e.g. KB4571756. This item will be updated if more information becomes available.
Update: We put our development team on this, and they discovered the Joystick messages MM_JOY1MOVE, MM_JOY1BUTTONDOWN, etc. were no longer being received after a joySetCapture call, as has happened for 20+ years. In checking Microsoft's API documentation, there is no indication these are deprecated or being phased out. However, there is a newer alternative API option, and with several modifications to the main JOY2MSE.EXE, a patched download for Windows 10 is now available. You can download the r5 patch install here: jtm280r5patch_810.exe for Windows 10 v2004 (3.23MB) 9/9/2020 (MD5: 4360F9FBFF485B4619F9DF5387F6A817)
It is recommended that with Joystick-To-Mouse closed/not running, you download and run through install to update/overwrite the Joystick-To-Mouse executables, and then test with this patch.
