Windows 10: Windows 10 and Steam not recognizing Pro Controller

I'm trying to get my Pro Controller to work on my Windows 10 PC and Steam. It used to work, but suddenly it's no longer recognized by Windows 10 and therefore cannot be seen by Steam. It says it's connected via bluetooth, but I can't do anything with it. Any idea why it wouldn't be seen?

Windows says the controller is connected

No controllers detected by Windows

No controllers detected by Steam, no hidden devices

Xbox One controller is navigating Windows 10 without Steam or any 3rd party apps running...

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Please confirm a few things for me.

1. Is this issue occurring with ‘Steam’ being installed on your system?
   
2. Have you checked if the controller still works on your Windows when ‘Steam’ is not running in the background?
   

Please check with the following methods.

Method 1:

Stop the process for steam in task manager and check with this.

You can stop ‘Steam’ running in the background by following the steps below:

1. Press ‘Ctrl’, ‘Shift’ and ‘Esc’. This will launch the ‘Task Manager’.
   
2. Click on the ‘Details’ tab, you should be able to locate the ‘steam.exe’ process if ‘Steam’ is running in the background.
   
3. Right-click on it and select ‘End process tree’ to stop the ‘Steam’ running in the background.
   
4. Check if the controller is still working on the Desktop.
   

Method 2:

I would suggest you to check the settings in the Steam application. You may follow the steps below:

1. Launch the ‘Steam’ application, click on ‘Settings’.
   
2. You should be able to locate the ‘Controller’ option under ‘Settings’.
   
3. Under ‘Controller Configuration’, click on the ‘Desktop Configuration’. Please confirm the settings there.
   

Hope it helps.

Windows 10 Build 10074 not recognizing controller in Steam games?

Hey everyone,

My boyfriend and I both just upgraded today to build 10074 and my Surface has had no issues.

On the other hand, my boyfriend's gaming PC seems to not recognize the Xbox One controller when playing games. On the Steam "Big Picture Mode," he can use the controller, but once he gets in game, it stops working.

We uninstalled the devices in device manager and through other places with no solution. I even tested it on my Surface and I don't have any issues using the controller once I'm playing inside the games. His controller is recognized and shows no issues on the PC side, but in Steam his controller isn't even recognized.

Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know a solution? I know with other previous Windows 10 builds we were able to fix weird issues with Powershell. I don't seem to see any solutions for this problem anywhere though, especially since the controller's drivers are now built into the OS.

 

Some USB Devices not recognized in Windows 10

Hi have Windows 10 Pro insider preview 10532 64bit Pro Intel i7 desktop PC.

I have multiple USB devices connected, USB 3 & 2. The USB HDD is working however my Samsung phone and kindle are no longer being recognized. The steps followed so far:

• Uninstalled all USB devices in device manager including controllers
• Flashed BIOS to latest version
• Updated USB drivers for the devices from manufacturers sites
• Tried new USB cables

Please note: both devices are recognized by my Windows 10 Lenovo laptop.

I really don't want to fresh install, please suggest any diagnostics I can try.

Thanks
