[SOLVED] Arduino is showing up as com6 in device manager but is not showing up in the game controllers control panel of windows 10

This code compiles without error and can be loaded into an arduino leonardo:

// 
// Controller for dials for a  Flight Simulator 
// using an Arduino Leonardo or Arduino Micro.
// based on code from
// Matthew Heironimus

  Serial.print(currentButtonState);
  Serial.println(inputPot);

  if (currentButtonState != lastButtonState[thisSwch])
    {

Device manager shows it in the ports section:

but it is not showing up with all my other controllers in the game control panel. I think it must have something to do with the MHeironimus ArduinoJoystickLibrary. Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

SOLUTION: From the list of issues in Hieronymus github someone mentioned that changing 'JOYSTICK_TYPE_MULTI_AXIS' to 'JOYSTICK_TYPE_JOYSTICK' was the issue. Now it's fixed.
