Xbox One controller suddenly stopped working [Workaround]

[Emilio]

So my controller has worked fine for a long time and worked fine yesterday. But today it suddenly stopped working on steam and steam games (windows is picking up the controller properly in the settings)

Workaround for the time being in the beta seems to be enabling the "Xbox Extended Feature Support Driver" in the controller settings.

Can confirm this works.

For those of us who run Steam "as admin", you'll need to disable it temporarily as you cannot install the Featured Support Driver but you can re-enable it afterwards and it still works.

Thanks this worked.

Thought that my new controller was dying when it suddenly started alt tabbing and taking screenshots

Ok, it does still not work as it should . Game detect the pad, but it do behave erratic with random button presses and stick/dpad
