Today steam keeps turning on big pictures controller as a mouse.

[Cryten]

I dont know if its the latest windows update, a steam update or the update to binding of isaav but my controller keeps becoming a mouse. Up and down control volume, right shoulder calls up a magnifier, the connect button launches big picture and the right stick controls the mouse. I tried going to the controller settings for steam but there is nothing there to stop it pretending to be a mouse.

This is most distressing, can anyone help me stop this happening? Windows 10, generic xbox 360 controller.

Did you check the box for "Open Xbox Game bare using this button on a controller" via Windows settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar. You want it uncheck, and game bar disable unless you use game bar.

big picture just randomly turned on while watching something today. Then when playing the controller was mucking up until I turned steam off, but it turned back on when I played isaac again.

Do you happen to press the home button at any time you use the controller?

If so then I want you to check the box for "Open Xbox Game bar using this button on a controller" via Windows settings > Gaming > Xbox Game Bar. You want it checked, and game bar disable unless you use game bar. When have the box checked, this stop Steam big picture from launching when you use home button on your controller.
