How to Set Up a Logitech G920 Racing Wheel on PC

Your Logitech G920 should show up in Windows, appear in Logitech G HUB, and respond inside your racing game. If it spins once and then disappears from the controls menu, the setup order is usually the problem. Start with the hardware, let Windows and G HUB detect the wheel, then bind it inside the game.

1. Secure the wheel and plug in the hardware

Start with the physical setup. The G920 needs pedals, external power, and USB before the PC can detect it correctly.

1. 1.Place the wheel base on your desk or racing stand.
2. 2.Use the built-in clamp knobs to secure the wheel. Push down and rotate the knobs to unlock or lock them, then rotate them to tighten or loosen the clamps.
3. 3.Remove the clamp extenders if the table is too thick for the default clamp position.
4. 4.Connect the pedals to the wheel base.
5. 5.Connect the power adapter to the wheel base.
6. 6.Connect the wheel to the PC with USB.

Wait while the wheel rotates fully left, rotates fully right, and returns to center. Logitech says the wheel is ready once that automatic calibration finishes.

2. Install G HUB from Logitech

1. 1.Open Logitech’s official G HUB page at https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/software/ghub.
2. 2.Choose the Windows download for G HUB. If the PC runs Windows 10 version 1803 (OS build 17134) or older, download G HUB 2023.1 instead, since the current build drops support for those Windows versions.
3. 3.Run the G HUB installer.
4. 4.Finish the installation, then open Logitech G HUB.
5. 5.Keep the G920 connected by USB and power.
6. 6.On the G HUB home page, click the connected G920 device tile.

G HUB is the current Logitech setup app for a fresh Windows PC setup. Use Logitech’s download page, not a third-party download portal. If the wheel does not appear, leave G HUB open for a moment after the wheel finishes its left-right-center calibration.

3. Let Windows complete the driver setup

Give Windows its driver pass before opening a racing game. Windows 11 installs recommended hardware drivers automatically through Windows Update after you connect the G920 by USB.

To check optional driver updates on Windows 11, go to Start > Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates. Select any relevant driver updates, click Download and install, then restart.

On Windows 10, go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced options. Return to Windows Update, then choose Check for updates or View optional updates when Windows shows that option. Keep in mind that Microsoft ended Windows 10 support on October 14, 2025 and now recommends moving to Windows 11.

4. Tune the G920 in G HUB

• Open the G920 tile from the G HUB home page once G HUB detects the wheel.
• Use the device configuration tabs, including Sensitivity and Assignments, to adjust how the wheel and controls behave.
• Open the settings cog on the G920 device page for firmware and other device options.
• For game-specific behavior, use the apps and games profile menu at the top of the G HUB home page.

A Logi ID is optional. Click the profile icon in G HUB and sign in when you want account features such as community presets where they are available.

5. Bind the wheel inside your game

Set up the game after Windows and G HUB detect the G920. The wheel can be connected perfectly and still need bindings inside the game.

1. 1.Launch the racing game.
2. 2.Open the game’s Options, Settings, or Controls menu.
3. 3.Select or bind the wheel, pedals, paddle shifters, and buttons.
4. 4.Adjust the game’s force feedback settings.
5. 5.Save the control profile before starting a race.

Buttons, accessories, and force feedback work in games that support them. The menu names change by game, but the setup belongs in the game’s controls menu.

6. Check every input in Windows

• Press Windows key + R.
• Type joy.cpl.
• Press Enter.
• Select the Logitech wheel.
• Open Properties.
• Use the Test tab to check the wheel, pedals, shifter, and buttons.

Use the Windows Game Controllers panel when a game ignores the wheel, pedals, shifter, or buttons. This confirms whether Windows is receiving the inputs.

If calibration controls are shown, open Properties > Settings > Calibrate and follow the wizard. The calibration screen changes by driver and device state.

7. Repair G HUB when detection breaks

When G HUB will not launch, gets stuck, or stops detecting the G920, first follow Logitech’s G HUB service restart guide. If that does not fix it, use Logitech’s reinstall path below.

1. 1.Download the latest G HUB installer from Logitech’s official G HUB page.
2. 2.Run the installer.
3. 3.Click Reinstall when the installer detects a broken installation.
4. 4.Wait for the uninstall and reinstall process to finish.
5. 5.Launch G HUB with the wheel connected.

If that fails, remove G HUB through Windows: go to Start > Settings > Apps > Installed apps > Logitech G HUB > More > Uninstall. You can also use Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Logitech G HUB > Uninstall.

For a full cleanup, enable hidden files in File Explorer > View > Options > Change folder and search options > View > Show hidden files, folders, and drives > Apply > OK. Then open Task Manager and end LGHUB.exe, lghub_agent.exe, and lghub_updater.exe if they are present.

Delete C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\LGHUB. Delete C:\ProgramData\LGHUB and old.LGHUB if they are present. Restart the PC, install G HUB again from Logitech, and launch it with the G920 connected.

8. Reset the Windows device entry

1. 1.Search Windows for Device Manager and open it.
2. 2.Choose View > Show hidden devices.
3. 3.Expand the relevant device category.
4. 4.Right-click the Logitech wheel or matching device entry.
5. 5.Choose Uninstall device.
6. 6.Select Delete the driver software for this device if Windows offers it and you need to remove the driver package.
7. 7.Choose OK.
8. 8.Restart when prompted.
9. 9.Reconnect the G920 so Windows and G HUB can enumerate it again.

Use Device Manager only after the wheel or driver package is corrupted, stale, or detected incorrectly. Unplug the G920 before you start. Deleting a driver package requires administrator privileges.

9. Ignore outdated Steam and LGS setup tips

Skip Steam controller settings for a current Windows setup, and you can leave Logitech Gaming Software out of the basic setup. Older setup videos often send people into both.

Logitech’s current troubleshooting marks the older Steam Support step as not applicable because Steam no longer detects wheels. For a fresh PC setup, use G HUB, the current app that older LGS tutorials predate. Even so, Logitech’s own G29/G920 support pages still list Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) 8.70 or later for full wheel functionality and still document wheel sensitivity in LGS, so it is not fully retired for these wheels.

On a work or school PC, driver approval or device-install restrictions can be controlled by an administrator. On a personal PC, the normal order is hardware connection, Windows Update, G HUB, then the game’s controls menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Logitech G HUB for the Logitech G920 on PC?

For a current setup, use Logitech G HUB from Logitech’s official G HUB download page. Logitech’s G920 support pages also still list Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) 8.70 or later for full functionality, so LGS remains a supported fallback.

Why does my G920 spin when I plug it in?

That is automatic calibration. The wheel rotates fully left, rotates fully right, then returns to center. Logitech says it is ready after that completes.

How do I test if Windows detects my G920 pedals and buttons?

Press Windows key + R, type joy.cpl, press Enter, select the Logitech wheel, open Properties, and use the Test tab.

Should I set up the G920 through Steam?

No. Logitech’s current troubleshooting marks the older Steam Support step as not applicable because Steam no longer detects wheels.
