  1. When upgraded to 24H2 gaming controls stop working midfight


    After upgrade to 24H2, I am playing games like overwatch and counterstrike. At first all seems well. About 5 minutes in, I can no longer move my character in any direction or the game chooses a direction for me to move. It seems random and mostly unresponsive to my keyboard or mouse inputs. Sometimes the game will buffer my inputs or freeze controls and not allow me to do anything.I have run antivirus software. all clean.I benchmarked my computer. Good to go. No performance issues while this is occurring on task manager for CPU/RAM/GPU/Internet.Internet is stable.I have a screen recording of w

  2. 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.

  3. Game controller ID settings

    Hi Joe,

    Thank you for the update. I understand your concern.

    I would suggest you to look for the Devices settings in Control Panel and check if the game controllers are listed. If so, refer to the following steps to alter the settings and check if these are helpful in resolving your issue.

    a. Right click on one of your game controllers and click Game Controller Settings. Note where in the list it is. If it is not at the top proceed to the next step.

    b. Right click and remove all your other controllers (not the 360/gamepad) and let them reinstall automatically.

    c. Once complete right click and check the list again and see if the 360 controller/gamepad is at the top. If so, give the game another try and see if it detects your controller.

    If the issue still persists, restart your console and then try to reconnect your controller.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please post back your results for further assistance.
