How to DISCONNECT a controller from Steam?

[RETRON]

So I have a Xbone controller and it works with Steam and it has a desktop configuration.
The problem is whenever I press something that is a "desktop configuration hotkey" while playing a non-Steam game, it will, on a left-stick-press for example, open the controller-based keyboard.
I do not want it to do this. I want Steam to ignore the controller altogether. I want to unsync it.
How do I do this?

Start Big Picture, open Big Picture Settings and disable the Steam controller emulation.

Where are the Big Picture Settings? I can't find it for the life of me. I've clicked controller settings but there's no emulation box in there.

Big Picture Mode has its own settings. That's why i told you to start Big Picture Mode.

Close Steam entirely OR disconnect the controller. There's no way to disable it.

Disable Steam's XInput mapper & restart Steam. That'll disable those effects.

You guys know this is a 5 year old post.

There has been settings on Big Picture mode for the last year or so, but it's location changed. To anybody who returns to this post with a similar issue (I use an emulator to game as well, so Steam overriding the emulator was a problem), the settings was in the top right, now it's bottom left. And to stop Steam from overriding every other location, I turned off the desktop inputs that Steam does.

Boa tarde Pessoal, utilizo o controle do Ps5 para jogar jogos, utilizando emulação de controle do xbox para jogos não steam e steam, porém quando abro a steam ele reconhece como controle do Ps5, no entanto não funciona 100%, alguns jogos bugam não não funcionam corretamente, gostaria de sabe se tem como desabilitar a steam de encontrar o controle, pois ele faz isso automaticamente.
