How to unmap xbox360 controller in Windows 10?

Problem solved!

I returned the xbox one controller and stopped using the xbox 360 controller.

Purchasing a PlayStation 4 controller fixed the issue.

When I plugged it in it was NOT automatically mapped and I can now set up my own profile for the buttons. I no longer suffer from double keystrokes from the windows profile and my own profile when I hit a button. Good grief

PS: I am using reWASD, great software. Go check them out, and their support staff was great too

Quote from a previous support thread:

"Currently, the only way for you to turn off the Xbox 360 Wireless controller is when you're playing a game with "Games for Windows Live" enabled. From there, you can turn it off by pressing the Guide button
on your controller. You can also use the suggested solution by Pety on this
link where he uses an application that could help you to turn
off your Xbox 360 controller.

You can also share this concern to the Windows team as your feedback by using our
Feedback Hub on Windows 10. In this way, they can consider to add it as a new feature in Windows 10"

M3tal Daz3, i really appreciate your response. But turning off the controller is not my issue and i understand that there is no support or options
from Microsoft Xbox or Windows to resolve my issue. I do hope that in the future this will be fixed.

Currently my controller when plugged into my pc will install the drivers and automatically map the buttons.

The controller can be used in games that normally dont support external controllers but i also found that it will work for minor functions in the Edge web browser.

Im having trouble with the way these buttons were automatically mapped because there is no way to un-map or customize the buttons to keystrokes. I've only come across Xbox Accessories software to swap the buttons around.

This is a problem because i can just use 3rd party software to map the controller the way i want, but the defaulted mapped profile that was automatically set up will interfere with the custom map profile i set up. This makes all mapping software completely
unusable because of the default mapped buttons

There are no xbox controllers i can use and no 3rd party software i can use where normally i could.

I am specifically asking for anyones experience with a workaround for this issue. My only option right now might be to roll back my updates to before the xbox controller support. Where or how far that might be, i have no idea?

If anyone has any suggestion other than that, i would greatly appreciate it. This is a hackathon, i am not looking for ethical or straight forward settings because i know there are none.

PS: Thank you for the Feedback Hub link, i think that might be my only option in this forum and the only real response to this issue.

I went out and got the original 1st party xbox one controller and it does the same thing. There is no way to disable the feature or remap the buttons to keystrokes

...PS try to go to Microsoft Edge and move around the left joystick. Mine will start selecting a bunch of buttons as if i were pressing Tab

Also, go to Start and search joy.cpl and you will find the settings to calibrate the xbox controller

I'll try that when I return home again. I don't use the "original" Edge, so maybe that's why my controller didn't seem to interfere with anything. It just brings up the Game Bar when I press the Xbox button.

But I'm afraid from here on, I'm currently out of ideas. You might also want to try to post in the dedicatedWindows 10 Answer Forums. Maybe there is someone more knowledgeable about Joystick
controlling Windows unintentionally.

Since you have a third party Aftershock controller, I guess it's also not really a Xbox issue. I'll cross my fingers that the Windows Forum can help you better, than a horde of XP hungry "Ambassadors" ;-)

As for the Joy.cpl thing: That's the standard Joystick control panel, that you also can reach by opening the Control Panel, and searching for "Game", which will bring up the Game Controller control panel (which you can start by typing joy.cpl, as well as
getting to the network devices by typing ncpa.cpl and so on).

So joy.cpl is not really something that interferes with your issue, I'd guess, as it's a standard control panel to calibrate an analogue stick and to test various buttons and axis on your connected controller.

FALSE! THIS DID NOT WORK
