Speedlink Competition Pro and windows issues

Hi,

Not specifically emulation, but related and maybe someone else on here is using this excellent joystick too. Especially for C64 and Amiga 

So until recently I have not had any problems with my Speedlink Competion Pro, but now it gets detected as a "Game Controller for Android" by windows instead, which makes it not work properly in various emulators etc.

Link to controller:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Speedlink-Anniversary-Competition-Extra-Joystick/dp/B07K9N36GG

I have tried to uninstall the device in the device manager, then turn off automatic driver installation and then reconnecting the controller. It still doesn't get detected properly.

I have also asked the makers if they got drivers, but it's one of those plug and play devices and before you just plug it in and it was detected as a Speedlink fine until recently.

Searching online has been fairly fruitless, but it does appear to be an issue for others as well however, with some forum posts and and entry going into the Simple Direct Media Layer github with some sort of workaround for windows 10:
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/commit/5c15e81cfbe473671bf6829039fbc927e2b0ad1c
None of these mention any solution though 

I am on windows 8.1.

So anyone else encountered this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
