HOW TO FIX CONTROLLER NOT WORKING IN GAMES BUT IS CONNECTED?

Hi Sharmi, I'm John D, and I am happy to help you with this.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your controllers not working in games, despite being connected. Based on what you've shared, you've tried troubleshooting steps like updating drivers and connecting via cable, but the issue persists.

One suggestion I have is to check your computer's power settings. Sometimes, power-saving settings can interfere with USB ports, which could cause the controller to malfunction. You could try disabling the power-saving feature for the USB root hub in the device manager to see if this helps.

Another suggestion would be to try reinstalling the drivers for your controllers. You could do this by completely uninstalling the drivers from the device manager and then reinstalling them.

I hope these suggestions are helpful in resolving your issue. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best regards,

John D.

XBox one controller stopped working in games

Hi Michael,

There is a possibility that you may encounter issues with using your Xbox One Controller on your PC if it is outdated. To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

• Have you tried to connect the controller via a wireless connection to your PC?
• Have you tried to connect the USB cable to a different USB port on your PC?
• Does the controller work on a different device?
• Did the issue start after an update?

XBox one controller stopped working in games

Hi

Up until recently my XBox One controller was working fine. Last time I player for about 30 minutes with it in Destiny 2, I think it was around a month ago or so.

Today I wanted to play a games entirely on XBox One, and had plans with my wife for it, and was very disappointed when XBox One controlled did not work. I started to dig the issue and read forums. I already spent over 2 hours trying to solve this. Here are
some details.

Symptoms:

• I connect XBox One controller with a USB cable
• After connecting it takes it 2-5 seconds to initialize. After that it works for 1 second, and then it stops working.
• It always works in calibration program ("Set up USB game controllers")
• Once it opened Game bar and worked there, but not in the game
• In Little Nightmares if I click the XBox button (main one) the game screen slightly flashes brighter, but game won't switch to controller mode and no other buttons work
• XBox Accessories app only recognizes it after I reboot my PC. The rest of the time it tell me that I need to connect the controller.

Steps tried:

• I tried about 5 different micro USB cables
• I checked drivers in Device manager - they are up to date
• I checked firmware verison XBox Accesories app tell me it is up to date
• I tried it with other games, lik Ark, Destiny
• I tried killing some overlay services, after killing Game bar it worked for a few seconds but then stopped working again

Please, help me. This issue totally ruined my evening.

Maybe I'm oldschool, but I'm used to such things like GAMEPADS - WORKING 24\7.
