Windows 10: How to disable specific axes of a game controller.

I have a gear shifter that I am using to control a game. In the game controller properties on windows, it has two extra axes that are not being used. They are set to halfway as default. For some reason this modulates my gas pedal which is a completely different device. The game I am using, Horizon 4, thinks that the unused access on my shifter is the gas pedal and it automatically accelerates even though I have the assignment selected as my gas pedal. How can I disable these axes so that I only have the buttons that the shifter actually uses on the game controller profile?

Game controller ID settings

Hi Joe,

Thank you for the update. I understand your concern.

I would suggest you to look for the Devices settings in Control Panel and check if the game controllers are listed. If so, refer to the following steps to alter the settings and check if these are helpful in resolving your issue.

a. Right click on one of your game controllers and click Game Controller Settings. Note where in the list it is. If it is not at the top proceed to the next step.

b. Right click and remove all your other controllers (not the 360/gamepad) and let them reinstall automatically.

c. Once complete right click and check the list again and see if the 360 controller/gamepad is at the top. If so, give the game another try and see if it detects your controller.

If the issue still persists, restart your console and then try to reconnect your controller.

Hope this information is helpful. Please post back your results for further assistance.
