  1. Controller not being properly read in Windows 11


    I can't explain this without going into detail, so this will likely be a lengthy post.I have a Xbox Series S/X controller that I use wired. The cable I use is a USB-C to USB-C, as my laptop also has a USB-C port. Before and after updating to Windows 11, I saw no difference other than the annoying search ghost window bug that has a 50% chance of happening, the remote worked fine. Until recently, I exclusively played games on Steam, which read my controller fine, and works well with all games under that launcher. Recently, I received a free promotion for three months of Xbox Game Pass for PC,

  3. Windows 10 Parental Controls not working properly

    Hi,

    Thank you for the response and keeping the status updated.

    The issue could be because of corrupted files. I suggest you to delete the corrupted files yourself and see if it helps

    to resolve the issue, please follow these steps:

    1) Make sure your children are signed out of any monitored accounts.

    2) Sign in with an administrator account and find the folder that contains the corrupted files.

    There are two ways to do this. The easiest way is to enter the complete file path:


    • On the Start screen, type C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Parental Controls and press Enter.

    • If you’d rather open each folder individually, follow these steps:
    a. Go to This PC

    b. Open C:, open the
    ProgramData folder, open the Microsoft folder, open the
    Windows folder, and open the Parental Controls folder.

    3) Delete all contents of the Parental Controls folder.

    This will delete any corrupt files. Your settings will be downloaded again from familysafety.microsoft.com the next time you sign in.

    Hope it helps. Reply with the result and I'll be happy to help you further. Thank you
