Xbox One Controller not Working On Steam...Please Help!- *Fixed*

[Hollow]

I have tried everything.Updated the drivers in the Device Manager, Uninstalled and Re-Installed the drivers , plugged it in another USB port ,
Unistalled steam and re-installed it.
It is also My preferred Device in 'Set Up USB game controller'.

It is wired and doesn't need batteries, It worked before on the same OS I'm on now. I have windows 10.
No, my controlled is not broken. I installed a Controller tester and everything works perfectly.I also tested it in 'Set Up USB game controlled'.
It is not the game that doesn't support it because i have played the game with it before (Borderlands 2).I have tested it on multiple games on steam and nothing.

Can someone Please help me. Any Ideas would be Appreciated.

UPDATE

I manually downloaded the microsoft Drivers on http://wccftech.com/xbox-controller-pc-drivers-download-courtesy-major-nelson/ and I installed it and everything Works again :)

Try this.

Plug in the Xbox controller.

Open Device Manager
Right Click "Xbox One Controller"
Select Update Driver Software
Browse on my PC
Let me pick from a list
Pick the "Microsoft Xbox One Controller" driver

The "Xbox One Controller" driver doesn't work but the "Microsoft Xbox One Controller" driver should work.

sorry, but i have the xbox one wireless device, connecting xbox one controller it, is working , steam sees it, and registers, it but LIS2 & TWD final season, controller no longer works for them, and says press "A" to play, but no buttons work on the controller.

Jds4578 I'm having the same problem. My xbox one wireless adapter is no longer working on any steam game I own and it was working just last week! Windows recognizes the controller as well as steam but it isn't working with games, even when plugged in through usb.

Switchblade489, i can recommend you check with the device manager, and see if you have all your usb drivers, have the option switched off/untick "allow computer to turn off this device to save power", turn off, for any usb hubs you use also, especially if you have your xbox wireless adapter connected to a hub. If it is ticked, untick it. its mainly used to save battery usage for laptops, not recommended for desktop pcs, really IMO, If your having usb device problems.

if you have/ use any powered usb hubs, use the power cable that came with it, as my pc didnt have enough power, to keep a webcam & a blue nessie mic, running at same time, my usb 3.0 hub needed to be powered, lucky i had some somthing that worked to power it. now both devices work, with it powered, so happy.

EDIT: i fixed my problem, i had the main steam software installed on my ssd(system drive) and i still had an older version of steam still installed on my 4tb drive, which i switched the shortcut to older steam. after a reboot, it got all confused, probably why my controller stopped working, and probably why certain games ( TWD:Final Season) were, crashing to desktop.

uninstalled steam on ssd, using a handy uninstaller software, then rebooted pc, re-configured steam to use my controller again, tryed running a game, and controller works again, and games (TWD:Final Season), aren ot crashing any more. happy days.

Thanks for the advice, but I already have those boxes unticked. It even puts steam on big picture mode, but the games don't recognize the controller. I've tried on multiple games however.

Xbox one in steam? i dont really think the steam controller is a xbox controller ynow?

[Switch]

No, its an xbox one elite controller with a wireless adapter that has stopped working on steam
I have also tried multiple controllers, and none of them work with steam games

In task manager, under the services tab, I found XboxGipService; Xbox accessory Management service was stopped. I started it and that's how I fixed my issue.

i had the same problem and after looking up everything this was how i got it to work. do the following:
open steam, click on settings,controller, then uncheck xbox configuration settings.
In Steam, click on the Big Picture Mode button at the upper right corner
This will open Steam in Big Picture Mode in full screen
Click on the Library button
Select the game you want to play
Click on the Manage Game button in the left-hand column
Click on the Controller Options button
Click the Steam Input Per-Game drop-down box
Select Forced Off
Launch game to confirm that your controller is recognized
plug in your xbox controller
click start,device manager,scroll down till you see xbox controller,right click it,select update driver software,update to latest drivers,scan for latest drivers and download them.
right click xbox controller again,select update driver software again,select browse my computer for drivers,let me pick from a list of available drivers,uncheck box show compatible hardware, select MICROSOFT XBOX ONE CONTROLLER,(if its not there search google and download it, the 64 bit one)
hit next, finish and then restart your computer when it prompts you too. it should work now.

For me i did the following:

Go to your Taskbar & Right Click your mouse, Then Click on Task Manager

Look up a Service Called: Xbox Live Auth Service, Relaunch that & it should work

Hope this helps :)

For me this was the most effective solution that worked out perfectly, i had no issues since then, others didn't work quite well, so hope this could come in handy
