  1. Uninstalled controller drivers, and now controller won't work


    I did a very dumb thing. My DS4 controller ran out of charge and wouldn't work, but I didn't know it had no charge so I removed+deleted the "Wireless Controller" device under "Devices and Printers".

    My controller is recognized by Windows 10 and can work with DS4Windows on some games, but on other games that I assume needed those files I deleted, my controller doesn't work.

    Here is the device I tinkered with. Maybe someone could see if their device says "no driver files detected" too? Can I just do a reinstall of Windows 10 to solve this issue?

  4. Uninstalled controller drivers, and now controller won't work

    Xbox One controller working wrong

    Hi,

    The issue may be related to the incompatible Xbox one controller drivers.



    Please try the steps below and see if it helps:

    • Press Windows key + R key. Type "devmgmt.msc" and click Enter.
    • In the Device Manager, go to > Human Interface Devices > Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class .
    • If you notice a yellow exclamation, double-click on the Xbox One Controller and go to the Driver tab, click on Update.
    • If the driver is already updated, uninstall the driver and then reinstall it.
    I would also suggest you check if the game is compatible with Windows 10.

    If this doesn't help correct your issue, please contact the Xbox Support.
