Windows 10: XBox Controller Z Axis Issue on Windows 10

Hello,


My name is Vy and recently I have ran into a major issue with my Xbox Controller (4N6-00001). I have purchased the controller just last week, and upon arrival, It worked flawlessly; However, after 3-4 days, upon starting up my Forza Horizon 4 Game, the controller started to acting strangely. My car was in reverse constantly as if I was holding down the Z Axis button, even when there was no input.


Upon inspection on my controller property (joy.apl) I noticed that the controller was fine until i start to touch it. As soon as Windows 10 dectect any input on my controller, Z axis started to max out at 100% (in calibration mode). The button itself is not stuck in such position that would make the button to react that way.


I have tried many methods with no success including:

-Rolling back my windows to 1803

-Restore my PC to factory state

-Reinstalled Windows 10 twice

-Uninstall and Reinstall Controller Drivers

-Update Controller Drivers

-Roll Back Controller Drivers

-Default Calibration Setting

-Unplug and Re-plug to another USB Port


I have tried a different brand controller(Logitech) which I borrowed from a friend of mine, and the exact issue is still persists. So I suspect this is not an issue comes from the controller itself since it is brand new.

Xbox Controller Z-Axis Problem

Wow. Thanks for the reply

I thought there must be nobody care about this.

This is NOT Game related.

or I'm not talking about a game that have special support for the xbox controller.

But in General.

You can tell by open the property windows of the xbox 360 controller in control panel

the property window shows the controller have a z-axis (But it should have 2!)





If you only press down LT the z axis will decrease, if you only press down RT z axis will increase

but if you press both LT and RT it will cancel each other out just like nothing pressed.

 

Xbox One Controller on PC Z axis and Z rotation.

Hey there,

I have a little problem. Recently, my Xbox One controller which I use for playing PC games started having problems. When I try to play games, lots of malfunctions happen. "Dragon Age: Inquisition" crashes at startup and corrupts my latest savefile, and "Ori
and the Blind Forest" makes my character walk to the left forever, as if my left stick were stuck (and it's not). The source of the problem lies in the controllers Z axis: there used to be just one, but it was split into a Z axis and Z rotation in some driver
update. When I look up the controller properties on my PC, both the axis and rotation start at 0% and rise to 100% when I press the shoulder trigger buttons. This causes detection problems in games that are programmed to recognize one Z axis sitting at 50%
and going to 0 and 100% when pressing the left and right triggers respectively.

I actually can solve this problem by following these steps:

1.) Open Device Manager

2.) Right Click "Xbox One Controller"

3.) Select Update Driver Software

4.) Browse

5.) Let me pick

6.) "Microsoft Xbox One controller"

This 'merges' the Z axis and Z rotation back into one. However, now comes the real problem: I recently bought a Wireless Adapter to connect my controller to my Windows 10 PC wirelessly, and I
can't change the driver of the adapter. The adapter displays the same problems revolving the Z split (once again an axis and a rotation).

I tried contacting Live Chat Support for Xbox, who sent me to Live Chat for Microsoft, who after two hours sent me back again to Live Chat Support for Xbox. Sigh. The guy at Xbox Live Chat then sent me here. So, I really, really hope someone here would be
able to help me! I would truly appreciate that.
