    How to edit which Player a Xbox controller is? Windows 10 Home, wired controller,


    I have a wired xbox controller that automatically moves from Player 1 to Player 2 mid-game. Any idea how to get the controller to be recognized as Player 1 or Controller 1 without a reboot?

    I am Windows 10 Home user. Version 10.0.17134. I am not seeing a Primary option in Game Controllers under Control Panel. Restoring to default does nothing.

    A reboot fixes the issue. However this happens every single time I play a game for 5+ minutes so a reboot each time is not a solution. Each time I remove a controller or USB device from the Device Manager,
    a reboot is needed as well. I have read some things that the issue is actually Xbox software on Windows 10.

    Thank you

    :)

    Hi Daze

    Thank you for replying. The controller is always detected. Yes, Win10 is updated and it keeps the drivers updated.

    The issue is that after opening a game, the controller moves from Player 1 to Player 2. I cannot move it back to Player 1 without a reboot. It has ruined the gaming experience.

    I suspect some of the issue is with the xbox gamebar software.

    Thank you for replying. I am using a xbox 360 wired controller. this link maybe, https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-controller-for-windows-help

    however I am not seeing any drivers to update and troubleshooting does not include windows10

    the notes are not very helpful. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-controller-for-windows-setup#357ef7c70b7a498c93260952ff40335e

    Notes

    • If your Xbox 360 wired controller is not detected by your PC, try plugging it into a different USB port, and then test it again.
    • If your controller still does not work, check that Windows 10 is fully updated. Install any updates and then try again.
    • Refer to your game documentation for information about how to configure the Xbox 360 controller for a specific game.

    I have found the best answer to be uninstalling Xbox related software from Windows10. It stops the issue. Xbox software must be taking player 1 controller spot somehow after a few minutes.
