Game Controllers issue

After opening 'Game controllers' Windows lists my devices (5) total. However if I select my T-Rudder 'Thrustmaster TFRP Pedals' then select Properties the game controller window merely closes. It does not do this with my other devices. Clicking on them and properties brings up the calibration window.

Looking in Windows event viewer I see the following....
