Program hangs/freezes when DirectInput GetDevices() is called C#

Question

Trying to get Joystick input with DirectX DirectInput but the program seems to hang/freeze without any errors on Manager.GetDevices().

Here is the simple code:

// C#
using Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput;
namespace Input
{
 class Controller
 {
 static void InitJoystick()
 {
 foreach (DeviceInstance di in Manager.GetDevices( DeviceClass.GameControl, EnumDevicesFlags.AttachedOnly))
 {
 Console.WriteLine(di.InstanceGuid);
 }
 }
 static void Main(string[] args)
 {
 InitJoystick();
 }
 }
}

Does anyone know what im doing wrong?

• Nick Papadiochos: What version of DirectX and VS are you using? Did you try running your app with admin rights? Also, check if any errors have been logged on the Event Viewer.
• erwfvsdcs: Latest DirectX Sdk (June 210) and 2022 VS. There are also no errors in the Event Viewer. I now just used SharpDX which works fine but it sucks to use a third party library.
