Windows Update & Xbox One Gamepad driver issue

[buddymanson]

So if I install the last two Windows Updates, my mouse will eventually start behaving odd and I get strange beeps. This happens when I use my Xbox One wireless dongle(turn on controller unplugged).

Removing and hiding these updates resolves the issue(I use a tool from Microsoft).

So either we need a new Xbox driver or Windows needs to fix their ♥♥♥♥.

Go to device manager and search for, download, and install the drivers for the wireless receiver. The updates messed up the XBOX One controller compatibility in some cases, including high CPU usage in GTA V.

Beginning with update ending KB...743 Microsoft changed the xinputhid.sys, controlling XInput HDI devices, like the XBox One controller.

Symptoms: Disconnecting, not reconectable, when unplugged the mouse doesn't work, mouse arrow spinning around and beep sounds from the computer. Only solution when that happens: a forced hard reset.

Deinstalling those updates fixes it for now, but this is no real solution, because those updates did a lot more than changing XInput, and you would not benefit from all the other stuff. So deinstalling all those updates just because XInput was broken can't be the solution.

Microsoft has to adress this issue asap with next updates, because they are selling Windows 10 and XBox One controller "for the players", and it shouldn't be that their own reference input device is broken for games like Far Cry Primal, The Division or even Hyperdimension Neptunia. Their controller freezes the computer and forces to hard reset, if they are not aware of this they can't be taken serious anymore.

I have reported it twice in the Windows Feedback app, but there is so much feedback going on on different things, that they might not recognice how highlighted this "Windows update breaks controller/mouse" issue really is,,,

P.S. My XBox One controller is wired with an USB cord, so it's not the dongle. It is the updated xinputhid.sys file.

A new KB3140768 update has launched and fixed issues with the XBOX One controllers.

No, KB...768 has not fixed that issue. We have to wait for Microsoft to adress this.

I'm not seeing any of those issues you're experiencing. The new update fixed the issue in GTA V and that's the only issue I was having with the previous update.

When playing and un- and replugging controller, the mouse will go crazy and beep sounds when clicking, and a forced hard reset is necessary. Not resolved by KB....768. With KB...743 a change of xinputhid.sys was introduced, affecting all Uplay games (Far Cry Primal, The Division) and other games like Hyperdimension Neptunia, which I grabbed on Steam sale today. Not fixed at all.

¿Where do you get that update? y checked windows update and no new updates available

And when Microsoft is going to adress this important issue, they should be aware, that Unity engine games, used by lots of Indies, have a big problem with XBox One triggers and heading to the left, making Unity games unplayable, long befor this newest mouse goes crazy and system needs hard reset thing. Some devs fixed it, e.g. Oris and The Blind Forest or Oddworld. But this is another story, and Microsoft should fix that, too, because Unity is a popular engine and Windows 10 plus XBox One controller are sold "for the players"....

Check again. Everyone should be getting it because it's a Super Patch Tuesday update.

This update actually causes the issue. It's the second update I had to remove.

[Lucille]

Since Windows updates are cumulative, KB...768 just continues the mess introduced by KB...743. Now you have to uninstall both updates and any further, when Microsoft is not adressing this real dealbreaker for a system sold as "for the players". Deinstalling and blocking all updates can't be a permanent solution, it's just an emergency fix for now.

Reported it a third time via Windows Feedback app. But when noone votes for these reports, it won't get popular and Microsoft won't get aware asap of this issue.

Yeah I hope they fix this soon. Perhaps rolling back the Xbox driver instead of hiding updates would work?

I guess not enough people are using a Xbox One controller on their PC for it to get noticed.

It's not the XBox driver, it's XInput HID driver. Unfortunately they have greyed out the option for driver roll back along with this broken update, too.
