Windows 10: New Message popup when connecting controller

I noticed a new message recently when I connect my wireless controller to my windows 10 machine. "The system has detected the controller, whether to switch to the controller mapping" The -really- bad grammar aside, there is just an OK button and it really appears to serve no real purpose but to annoy. Obviously if you needed to switch the controller mapping you'd already know to do so when connecting a new controller. though these are controllers I've been using for a while so I just don't understand why this is necessary. My question is; can this be disabled or turned off in settings somewher

Controller connection

Hi,

If the controller keeps disconnecting when you use it on an Xbox One console, it may be due to outdated controller firmware. To resolve this issue, we suggest checking if there are updates available for the controller. Refer to

Update your Xbox One Controller for the steps.

In addition, keeping your console up-to-date can also help resolve connection issues with Xbox accessories. To manually update your console, kindly perform the following steps:

• Make sure your console is connected to the Internet, and then open the
  Guide and choose Settings > All settings.
• Select System > Updates > Update console.

If no update is available, your console is up-to-date.

See

Keep us posted with the progress. We'd be glad to clear things up.
