Strange. My Xbox controller works just fine. I'm using a wired controller for the Xbox X, if that makes any difference.
The way I've fixed it for now is not having any controller connected then loading into my save and then pausing the game into the menus. I then can connect an Xbox controller in the menus and make the controls input xbox specific instead of just hybrid. This should be fixed in the next patch tbh tho.

Hey Heyhowsitgoingtonight

Thank you for you messages and for sharing the workaround that works for you.
I'm sorry to hear that you PC crashes when you connect your Xbox controller to it while playing Assassin's Creed Shadows.

I cannot see you mentioning if this is via a USB cable or wireless.
If via a USB cable, did you try different USB ports? Do you have any other USB accessories connected to your PC?

Are you connecting via a USB hub?

Disconnected any other USB devices and hubs for a test.

If this is not a USB cable connection, try for a test changing your screen's refresh rate from 240Hz to 120Hz and see if this helps with the crashing.
