Throttle no longer works in Sim - Slider frozen

Could someone help:

I am having an issue where throttle assignments do not work anymore in MSFS 2020.
Note: I have the same problem with both my HoneyComb Bravo and a Saitek throttles.
I can map (for example throttle 1 Axis) and it saves it, but when you move the throttle
the white bar does not move. The little textbox that, shows what it’s bound to, flashes
in the controls section but moving the throttle does not register. Also, the sensitivity
does not change either. Also, Everything works correctly in Windows | Game Controllers.

Would anyone know what would cause this.?

The first thing to ensure is that you do not have the two throttle units plugged into the PC at the same time.
Sometimes MSFS (with some systems) does not work well with both plugged in at the same time.

As far as the Saitek goes, the only way I could get mine to calibrate properly to work with MSFS was with this diview calibration tool:

Dear Forum members. I have solved this issue (Very happy) This issue was due to something corrupting my Community folder. It’s crazy that it would affect the binding of throttles but it did. I moved everything from my community folder and the throttle bindings work find now. I have only tested my HoneyComb Bravo throttle but if that works I’m sure everything else also work.

Thanks you for your help and I hope this post helps other with the same problem.
