    How to use a Xbox Controller only in games ?


    I just bought a new Xbox Controller with a USB cable after the death of my old Xbox 360 Controller. And i experience something that i don't want : My controller interact with my games (as expected) AND with Windows 11. For exemple, pressing the left Joystick open a virtual keyboard and minimize my games. Is there a way to disable the controller for Windows 11 and have the controller only works with my games ? Thanks you.

    :)

    Hi, Beranor! thank you for reaching out.
    My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

    This sounds like your controller might be pulling up the virtual keyboard from Steam and not Windows. If you have Steam installed on your computer, would you mind giving this a try?

    - Open your Steam window
    - Go to Settings > Controller > Desktop Layout > Edit > Edit layout > Joysticks
    - Scroll down to the Left Joystick click function
    - If this is set to "Show Keyboard", click on the gear icon and select "Remove command"

    Please let me know if this works for you, I'll be looking forward to your reply.
    Best regards

    If you’re using a web browser to play cloud games, the Xbox Wireless Controller is currently the only officially supported controller. Other controllers may or may not work for cloud gaming on a browser.

    xbox 360 guitar not working on my windows 10

    The streaming app reports to the game a standard Xbox controller. The game is looking for specific device IDs which are not the virtual controller interface used for steaming. Only the standard Xbox controller will work at this time. In addition.

    If you wish to play, you need to find Xbox One compatible guitar controllers, or use this adapter (see internal link for compatibility), and use them directly on the console.

    xbox 360 controller not working on PC

    Is the controller a wireless controller or wired? If it is wireless, how are you connecting it? If by using the play & charge kit, then the Xbox 360 controller will not work, as the cable is only recognized on PC for charging only. You need to use a Xbox
    360 Wireless adapter for PC to connect a wireless Xbox 360 controller to your PC.

    Xbox one controller

    If i put in my Xbox controller in Fifa it shows 2 controllers how do i fix it?
    Are you for sure playing on an Xbox or are you using an Xbox controller on a PC? I researched this issue and could only find it being reported on PC versions of the game.
