Windows 10: XBox One Guide button

Hello, I recently updated windows 10 on my computer to the newest build and of course, I immediately ran into MAJOR problems. First and foremost... It is my computer Microsoft. If I have a button on a controller I WANT to use or a feature I do not want to use, I should be able to choose. I really despise the direction modern tech companies are going in this regard. Quit designing stuff for lazy morons, they can learn to do everything just like everyone else.

Anyways.....

I use a front end on my pc to launch games and media, on top of the front end I use a thing called rocket launcher that allows me to have universal controls of all media and applications. It adds stuff like universal controller profiles, universal pause screens, fancy load/exit screens, etc etc. RocketLauncher works just fine... MY CONTROLLER DOES NOT

The way I have it set up, button 11 on the controller the guide button is supposed to launch my "Pause Screen". It doesn't do this anymore. It launches the stupid game bar **** no one needed or asked for. I want to control the guide button and what it does or does not do. I also want an easy way to permanently disable stoopid features like the "game bar" but that is an entirely different topic

What I have tried...

I unselected "open game bar using this button on a controller", no fix

I turned off the game bar in settings/gaming, no fix but did re-allow other apps that used the guide button for a function to use it again

I downloaded Xbox Accessories and tried to reconfigure the controller to my liking

no fix, the guide button isn't even an option

Also it would be AMAZING if you could do keyboard binds to buttons. Thx for letting me set joystk inversion though

I tried to investigate the controller properties of the controller in "game controllers" from the devices and printers app

no fix, button 11 or anything relating to the guide button is even detected

I went into device manager and rolled back the drivers,

no fix

I went out and bought a Sony DS4 controller and I can configure their fake guide button just fine.


Notes:
The button is there, the button lights up when the controller is on, the button flashes when looking for a bt connection, the button works on an Xbox one just fine, launchbox detects it as button 11 when binding, steam and retroarch detects it and uses it for their own dumb overlays which I have disabled now, All this leads me to believe that it is indeed Microsoft restricting me from configuring this button. Everything works as intended on my windows 7 machine and my wife's Windows 8 tablet. Windows 10 really does improve upon a lot of things but it fails in just about the same number of areas. Please quit trying to force people to use their computers how YOU think we should. Freedom MUST remain a top priority, otherwise, everything else is utterly pointless.


I really don't like using this ps4 controller, it feels wrong in my hands so hopefully someone can help me out. Thank you in advance.
