    Controller Issues With Windows 10


    My controller has recently stopped working while i was in the middle of a game, i tried to reconnect it 3-5 times and succeeded but it then only worked for a second. I have a spare controller i tried to use right after but both of them didn't seem to be working.So i have tried both controllers, 2 different USB cables and multiple different USB ports on my motherboard and on my PC case.I am able to use both of the controllers perfectly on my PS4 and via Bluetooth on PC, yet now all of a sudden USB connections don't work. I always prefer to use USB as there is less input delay and i have to use

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

    Heres a couple examples:

    Here

    Here

    It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

    I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
