Switch Pro Controller not recognized by PC/Steam

[Folderwin]

The pro controller worked without problems before reinstalling Windows, now the computer does not see it at all, there is no sound or any reaction to usb connections. I tried everything that was written in a closed topic, nothing helped, it's just that the computer doesn't see the gamepad in any way.

If that's the case, you might want to update or uninstall and reinstall your drivers.

As a long shot you can also try a different cable and maybe different USB slot too.

So the point is that before reinstalling Windows, this gamepad was connected to the same connector and the same cable.

Right so, then you should try what crunchyfrog says and try updating or reinstalling your pad drivers....

Can you tell me how to do this, where to download them? I have never installed drivers on gamepads.

There is a couple ways you can do this:

#1. Check the controller's developers support page. Depending on the name of the controller and the developer, each one should have it's own download page.

#2. You could try in device manager in windows on the controller name. Right click on it and click update driver. Either it will find a new one, or it will take you to windows update, where you should run it to see if there is a update.

Windows doesn't see it. Nintendo doesn't have a PC driver page.

The problem is the USB driver for what drives the joystick - not the controller nmanufacturere's driver.

You need to google for a driver for YOUR PC or motherboard.
