Windows 10: XBOX CONTROLLER RECOGNIZED AS LE XINPUT DEVICE

GOOD DAY. I HAD A TROUBLE MAPPING MY XBOX CONTROLLER BECAUSE IT HAS DIFFERENT INPUT BUTTONS AND NAME. IT APPEARS THAT MY XBOX CONTROLLER WAS RECOGNIZED AS A GENERIC GAMEPAD CONTROLLER ON GAMES. I TRIED USING IT ON WIRED CONNECTION AND WAS WORKING FINE, HOWEVER IT WAS NOT THE CASE ON BLUETOOTH CONNECTION. MY DRIVERS ARE UP TO DATE AS WELL AS THE XBOX CONTROLLER FIRMWARE. IS THERE ANYTHING TO DO SO THAT MY XBOX CONTROLLER WILL BE RECOGNIZED ON GAMES AND WILL BE MAPPED ACCORDINGLY? HOPING FOR YOUR POSITIVE RESPONSE

How to reenable device (Xbox One Controller) in Device Manager under Windows 10

I've had some problems with my XOne gamepad (wired) under Win10 (during game, right stick and some keys stop working), so after searching for solution in the web, I've found out that disabling some related entry in the HID group in Device Manager might help.
So in the DM I've found that my gamepad shows itself as XBox Controller in XBox Peripherals group and as two entries in HID group:

• XINPUT compatible HID device
  
• USB input device (my translation here, I'm not sure how it's described in english version)
  

Disabling XINPUT did nothing, so I've enabled it again, then I've disabled the other entry (USB input device). After that, both entries disappeared, system don't recognize it when I connect the gamepad to PC (no clinky noise :/ ) and ofcourse, it does not work in game at all.

Do you know any way to reenable this device?
I've tried View->Show hidden devices, but even if those are there (I see both, or rather I see 1 XINPUT and about 20 USB Input devices), context menu of any of those entries does not have an "Enable device" option.

 

Xbox One controller being recognized as a 360 Controller

Hi Stephan,

There are several reasons why your Xbox One controller is detected as an Xbox 360 controller by your PC. It is possible that the controller is not updated or if you previously used an Xbox 360 controller on the PC, it is still detecting its drivers instead
of the Xbox One controller drivers. To properly isolate your concern, please clarify the following information:

• Have you used an Xbox 360 controller on the same computer before?
• Does the error message occur on all of the games that you play?
• Have you tried to update the controller?
• Are you using an Xbox One Elite controller?

In the meantime, we suggest that you update the controller by following the steps on this

link.

 

Xbox Series X controller wireless not working with windows 10

That is correct the controller is not recognized in any game.

I have paired my old xbox one controller and under connected devices it is recognized as:

Bluetooth XINPUT compatible input device

this, I recognize.

But the new controller is recognized as:

6 axis 16 button gamepad with hat switch

this I have never heard of.
