Steam + Xbox One Controller = Gargh!

So I'm trying to set up my games, and Steam interferes with them. Whenever I play a Steam game my controller has a bias towards the bottom left. Any other direction is incredibly slow. I found out I can fix this by going into my controller settings and changing the sensitivity from "Linear" to "Aggressive" which makes games feel weird. Disabling Xbox Controller support doen't fix this.

Now all of a sudden it's happening outside of steam. Project64 does the same thing, and the desktop configuration doesn't do anything. I can't even exit steam to stop this. It still happens. Project64 was working fine before. Could some one help me with this?

Thank you.

The calibration might work until you start the next game.
If you try the xbox controller app to try to calibrate with it, you can be lucky if it even recognizes the controller. The microsoft controller.

if it happens while Steam is closed, then the issue is with the controller or another software.

But the issue magically fixes itself when I change the sensitivity of the joystick per-game. It was working fine yesterday and I haven't really changed anything (aside from a Steam update).

In windows 10?

Yep.

I had a bug in 10 where the trigger buttons would only give a tiny bit of accelleration or brake.
Went back to 7 at once, because that was mindbending. Windows 10, microsoft controller "for windows 10", incompatible.
