How to disable xinput in UWP apps?

[BΞRSΛN]

Hello. I updated Windows 10 to 1803 version. With this update the Start menu got xinput support. When i intend to press shutdown button i always press the restart button because of giving arrow key input while using joystick mouse. The problem also occured in older versions of Windows 10 but it was limited to UWP apps only. Now the same thing is happening to core functions like Start menu, the situation just got serious.

So this includes these two bugs?

Another question: what is the purpose of the app in Steam if I already have it installed "outside" of Steam as .... standalone? app?

Okay, just noticed that scrolling left/right isn't possible either.... don't know if that worked in previous versions of CC/Windows because I just installed it yesterday....

i think pb started in creators update on Edge, then on latest updates the pb generalized to start menu, parameters/settings... all that is UWP modern ui,

happily my system backup was creators update,

i think M$ try to oblige us to leave cc,joy2key etc...
they made SEA OF THIEVES just for MODERN UI...

why i boycott UWP apps, + i use mainly my pc for audio work.

i recommend to format and install win 10 vanilla or prior/before creators update, and use "StopUpdates10"... (edit: next year i maybe change computer, i will do this if m$ dont let us choice...)

nowadays, all antivirus/antimalwares have protection vs ransomware, zeroday', etc.

if u bored of windows, use linux ubuntu or steam os, and play all steam games with STEAM PLAY (beta).... and leave an install of win 7, 8, 10... for non steam games (like battlefield, fifa etc...)

i'm sure M$ wants to kill desktop mode so everybody do/use UWP only, like a smartphone....

win 11 will be uwp only, i bet...

Has anybody figured this out or found a solution? It is driving me absolutely insane, i can't navigate at all through my computer. I had no idea why but this is exactly the reason and same symptoms.

Thanks

I'm having the same issue... anything in the start menu I try and highlight and click, it ends up clicking something completely different.... HUGE PAIN! HELP!

MS Is really committed to this stupid ♥♥♥♥. Look at this Guidelines for developing xinput controls on UWP apps.

https://docs.microsoft.com/pt-br/windows/uwp/design/input/gamepad-and-remote-interactions

This sucks we need an option to turn this off!

This is the fix, gamers. Install an old version of the xbox 360 controller driver. Here's the official link; http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=%20Microsoft%20-%20Game%20Devices%2C%20Other%20hardware%20-%20XBOX%20360%20Controller%20For%20Windows%20

tl;dr you should be complaining to Microsucks en masse about their half-assed, garbage, UI-breaking "controller support".

Complain daily. Complain loudly. Demand to be taken seriously.

Anything short of this will achieve absolutely nothing.

This link does contain the fix.

1.
Download the cab file "Microsoft - Game Devices, Other hardware - XBOX 360 Controller For Windows"
Last Updated "8/12/2009"
Size "2.5 MB"
from: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=%20Microsoft%20-%20Game%20Devices%2C%20Other%20hardware%20-%20XBOX%20360%20Controller%20For%20Windows%20

2.
Use 7-Zip to extract the cab file.
This will result in a folder that contains:
- two folders "x64" & "x86"
- and three files: "INF Failures.txt", "xusb21.cat", & "xusb21.inf".

3.
Open "control panel" and search for and navigate to "device manager".

4.
In "device manager", if you have an Xinput controller plugged in, when you scroll down you will
eventually see "Xbox 360 Perphearals". Click it.

5.
Right click on "Xbox 360 Controller for Windows" and select "Update Driver Software".

6.
Click on "Browse my computer for driver software".

7.
Click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".

8.
Click on "Have Disk..." in the lower right corner of the window.

9.
Click on "Browse..." and navigate into the extracted folder from earlier that contains the driver.

10.
Select the "xusb21.inf" file then click "Open".

11.
Click "OK".

12.
Click "Next" then the driver should install.

13.
You will be asked to "restart your computer".
Do it when you are ready so that the changes will go into effect.

14.
You should be all set. I really hope this works for anyone who finds this. Figuring this out has been a painful experience.

Yeah it's probably not a good idea to keep using CC as the dev has abandoned us and it.
There are alternatives. As a lite solution steam itself can do some jobs, but rewasd does what CC always wanted to do, including hooking buttons to prevent Windows getting its greasy, sticky, half-rotten claws on them and making them scroll random windows or email your credit card details to Zimbabwe.
