Windows 10: Elite Series 2 being detected as Keyboard all of a sudden?

Elite Series 2 controller being detected as a Keyboard on Windows 10 when wired all of a sudden.

It just started happening, my Elite Series 2 controller is being detected suddenly as a Keyboard the device name is Controller but the icon is of a Keyboard and is in the Mouse, keyboard, and pen section in Bluetooth and other devices. I’ve tested every other controller I own, even an Xbox Series X controller, and none of them are being detected as a Keyboard like my Elite Series 2 is. It used to have the icon of a gamepad and was in the Other devices section, but now the icon is of a Keyboard and is located in the Mouse, keyboard, and pen section. I can’t tell if a windows update did it or not, because it just started happening. I’ve tried to remove the device, remove the drivers for it, and it’s STILL showing up as a Keyboard with keyboard drivers too, somehow??
