Windows 10: No Inputs from connected Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Win11

I've been trying to get my switch pro controller Specifically the HORI model [Shows up as "HORI Wireless Switch Pad" on my pc ] to work on my pc not for steam just normally. It does show up in the Bluetooth & Devices and the HID-Compliant Game Controller driver is installed. I have it connected via USB and everything seems to be working Without USB it doesn't wanna pick it up, but I'm pretty sure my computer just doesn't support Bluetooth in general., it's just that the inputs don't seem to be registering on the pc. Not even the calibrator seems to register inputs. Does anyone know h

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller not being detected by Windows 10

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We appreciate your effort on this. We understand that when you connect the Nintendo Switch Pro controller to the computer, it is not being detected, we will look into this for you.



However, it would be great if you can help us with the details requested below:

• Does the Nintendo Switch Pro controller gets detected in any other computer?
  
• Were you able to use the Nintendo Switch Pro controller earlier on your current computer?
  
• Is any other USB Device detected on your computer?
  
• Do you see any Unknown device or a yellow yield sign on any device in Device Manager?
  
• May I know the troubleshooting steps that you have tried so far?
  

To check for unknown devices, you can press Windows key + X, and select
Device Manager.



If you see any Unknown device or a device with yellow yield, right click on the device and select
Update Driver.



However, we would also suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

Error: “USB Device not recognized” when you try to access a USB external hard drive. except Method 1 and 2 and check if that helps in resolving the issue.



Let us know how it goes.

Nintendo Switch Pro controller and Nintendo Gamecube PowerA Controller connection issues.

My problem is that my Nintendo Switch Pro Controller can't seem to connect to software such as Steam, but is recognized as a device. And, my GameCube PowerA controller won't connect at all to my new HP Pavilion desktop when it connected to my much older
Dell Inspirion.

Please respond at the nearest convenience
