Fallout 4 No Mouse Cursor or keyboard control in main menu

[Fonzie]

Hey guys just started the game and both in fullscreen and windowed mode I have no mouse or keyboard control, as if the fallout window is not in focus. Any ideas how to resolve this?

[Fonzie]

Ok nvm, turns out if you have Xbox one controller pluged in it auto disabled mouse and keyboard.

use the controller to go into settings and turn off the controller, i think it falls under gameplay options but look around.

nah didn't work either, i had to go into the device manager and disable all controllers for the MnK to work...talk about a pain in the arse!

That's how most games are if they have controller support. They over ride your mouse and keyboard and make the game go crazy. Be thankful it was just the main menu.

Um... wtf are you talking about? This is completely untrue. Many games will still receive input from mouse and keyboard or joypads at the same time. Most pc games are keyboard and mouse by default over a joypad. And even the games that will only allow input from one of the devices at a time usually have an option in to easily switch between the devices to choose the one you want to use. A game completely ignoring the K&M because you have a controller plugged in, with no option to change that is very unusual.

I just ran into this, but I have never had a controller plugged in.

In the end I opened up C:\users\[username]\My Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4Prefs.ini and set bGamepadEnable=0 .

Oh thank you very much, I slept on my wireless controller plugged into the back of my computer and never in a million years would have though to check if I turned it on. This should be a PSA.

There was an Xbox controller in the task manager, even though no controller of any kind ever on the pc. Go to task manager and if it's there disabled it, restart the computer. Your keyboard and mouse should now work without issue

Settings> Gameplay> Controller -> OFF then press START to confirm the change. GTG

Make sure to close teamspeak and ovewolf and have the gamepad unplugged, this worked for me.
