Windows 10: How do i fix game saying a controller is connected when nothing is connected

I recently bought 2 games on steam 1 game turns my camera in circles until i disable gamepad input in the settings and the 2nd one says a unmapped controller is detected when i open it. The issue is i have no controllers connected and i already used control panel to remove any controllers it says was connected and the issue still persists so any idea on whats causing the issue?

Network Settings says No Internet Connection, But...


I've tried unselecting the option but I didn't fix the issue - nor could I see why it would.

The following things connect to the internet fine:

• Microsoft Edge (new IE)
• Chrome
• Skype
• Steam's browser and Steam multiplayer games
• League of Legends launcher, patcher, PVP.net and game client
• Battle.net
• Pretty much everything

What doesn't work:

• Network Center (says I'm not connected)
• Windows Live Mail (logging in)
• Outlook (logging in)
• Notepad 8 (logging in)
• User Accounts (logging in)

The issue seems to affect any Microsoft product that tries to connect to Live.

 

Gaming Controller Connection

Hi,

An outdated device driver or compatibility issues with the controllers are possible reasons as to why you're encountering this issue. Let's first isolate your concern by answering the following questions:

• What type of controllers are you using? (e.g. an Xbox One controller, an Xbox 360 controller, a third-party controller)
• Have you tried connecting both controllers to a different USB port and check if the same issue occurs?
• Have you tried connecting both controllers to a different device and check if the same issue occurs?

Meanwhile, we recommend running the Windows troubleshooter for devices and driver. This can help resolve issues with connecting external devices in Windows 10. Refer to

How to use Microsoft easy fix solutions and look for Find and fix problems with devices and hardware.

Another solution you may perform is to check if there are updates available for your Windows 10 PC. See

How to get software and driver updates for Windows 10 for the steps.
