Windows 10: Xbox One controller recognized, but not transmitting any input

I've had some issues with my xbox one controller of late. I recently reinstalled the Bluetooth drivers for my controller, managed to connect it without a usb adapter for the first time. Then that broke and nearly took my Bluetooth with it. I managed to get it fixed and am now using the receiver again but now I have a new problem that only affects my controller.


When I play a game sometimes my controller is connected, recognized as in the game's ui changes to controller, but it won't accept any input from the sticks or buttons. If I move my mouse and make it change to kb+m it switches the ui and it even switches back to gamepad but it still won't accept input. I also can't figure out how it fixes itself or breaks. Sometimes it seems to break after an alt+tab, other times it works fine even with alt tabbing. Sometimes it won't work with a newly opened game and sometimes a restart of the game fixes it, other times it doesn't. I really don't know what to do here.

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.

Thank you for responding...

-No I have not used A Xbox 360 controller.

-When I enter a game, it says that the

"Controller that you are currently using(Xbox 360 for Windows) is not supported. Some features may not be available". Only a game called Payday 2 doesn't flash up with a message similar to that.

-I've downloaded the Xbox Accessories app and connected via USB and it recognized it as an Xbox One Controller and then I tried to update the controller but it says that their are no updates available.

-And no im not using the Xbox One Epite controller. Im using the Xbox One Controller+Cable for Windows.
