Windows 10: joy.cpl is missing working usb controllers

Hello, I've been experiencing this issue for a while now, with different USB game controllers and devices: There are missing game controllers in joy.cpl even though the connected game controllers are working and are showing up in Device Manager, and Setting > Devices. The controllers can be configured using their respective software suites/programs and report working buttons and axis using https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad. This happens with multiple devices and game controllers. No USB hub etc. are being used, controllers are directly plugged into the motherboard USB ports. Multipl

USB 3.0 controller missing


Merry Christmas!

I have been having a problem with the USB 3.0 ports on my computer. I will try to provide as much pertinent information as I can, and hope that someone here can help.

This computer is a Windows 10 64-bit machine that I built in November. It has an Asus P9X79 LE motherboard, and an Intel i-7 4820 CPU.

A few days ago, I noticed that two external drives attached to the two rear USB 3.0 connections were not showing up among the listed drives. This MB also has a USB 3.0 header, to which I have connected four USB 3.0 ports on the front of the case. I found that my drives, and other USB devices, were recognized and worked fine when plugged into the front ports, but not when plugged into the back.

The first thing I did was check the USB section of the Device Manager. The USB 3.0 controller was listed, and there were no warnings (yellow “!” icons) to indicate any problems. Since then, I have tried the following:

First, I searched for hardware changes in the Device Manager. It found nothing.

Second, I deleted the USB 3.0 controller and rebooted to get the system to reinstall the device. It did reinstall the device, but this accomplished nothing.

Third, I updated the BIOS to the latest version on the Asus website. I verified with ASUS that this was indeed the most current version. No change.

Fourth, I updated all chipset drivers for the MB, with the current files on the Asus website. No change.

Then, a couple of days later, the front USB ports stopped working. Checking the Device Manager, the USB 3.0 controller is now missing. Checking online, I found a suggestion that USB 3.0 might be disabled in the BIOS, so..

Fifth, I checked the BIOS settings, and found no way to enable or disable USB 3.0.

One thing that is very odd about this, which the Asus tech commented on, was that the front ports were working while the back ones were not, since they rely on the same controller.

So, I have two questions. First, any suggestions? I am willing to try whatever someone thinks might help.

Second, if I were to purchase a PCI-e USB 3.0 board, would it have its own controller, so I won’t have to rely on the Asus MB for this functionality? At $20 or so, that might be the easiest route, if it will work.

Thanks.

 

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?

 

USB 3.0 is not working

I have tried below all the steps bu my both USB 3.0 are not working.

Please suggest more to add on.

I understand that the USB port is not working. The issue may arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or corrupt or if your PC requires an update for issues that may conflict with a USB device and Windows. This may also occur if your
USB controllers may have become unstable or corrupt. So, I suggest you to try the following steps and check if the issue persists.

Method 1:

Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

Open Device Manager by pressing Windows key + X and select device manager from the list. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
In the list of hardware categories, find and expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
Restart the computer, and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
Plug in the removable USB device, and then test to make sure that the issue is resolved.
Method 2

The issue could be if the drivers are not updated or get corrupted. So, try to install all of the Windows updates available and if issue persists, try to update the drivers by following the steps provided in the article mentioned below.
