Windows 10: Joy Cons Not Recognized As Controllers

Recently I have been using Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons to play games on my computer. However, ever since I used BetterJoyForCemu once, my controllers even when they are connected to my controller through Bluetooth just don't show up on "Set up USB Game Controllers". They are Joy-Con L and Joy-Con R. They used to work, and do stay connected to my computer, but they aren't recognized as "controllers". I can't find anything about how to solve this problem. Could I please have some help?

Xbox One controller being recognized as a 360 Controller

Hi Stephan,

There are several reasons why your Xbox One controller is detected as an Xbox 360 controller by your PC. It is possible that the controller is not updated or if you previously used an Xbox 360 controller on the PC, it is still detecting its drivers instead
of the Xbox One controller drivers. To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

• Have you used an Xbox 360 controller on the same computer before?
• Does the error message occur on all of the games that you play?
• Have you tried to update the controller?
• Are you using an Xbox One Elite controller?

In the meantime, we suggest that you update the controller by following the steps on this

link.
