Malfunctioning X360 Controller Driver

For a while the windows driver for my controller doesn't work right. While the left analog stick works for example as intended, it thinks that the A-Button is the START-Button and several other buttons don't work at all.

Reinstalling the XBox Accessories didn't help.

I play on Win 10 Education/University.

MALFUNCTIONING CONTROLLER

My controller has decided it won't work with my console anymore, either wireless or wired although it does connect for a few seconds from time to time when I unplug and plug the plug and play lead back into its port.

I've tried multiple soft resets, unplugging and even switching to AA batteries. Nothing, nada, zilch.

I've searched all over and other people have experienced this issue and got past it but whatever I've tried has failed.

To make it worse, Xbox support doesn't understand it either and just insists on a controller servicing even though it could actually be my console.

Hello, first thing you should try is a hard reset. Hold your power button for 8-10 secs until the system shuts off. Then unplug the power for 30 seconds for good measure. Plug back up, and give it a try. This is one of the most common fixes for several
issues, and if that does not work follow the steps from this page. Troubleshoot Xbox One Disc Errors

 

Hi,

If you encounter issues with the Xbox One controller functionality, this may be due to an outdated version of the controller's firmware. To resolve this concern, we recommend that you follow the steps provided on this

link on how to update your Xbox One Controller on Windows 10.

We also recommend keeping your Windows 10 device up-to-date. Refer to
How to get software and driver updates for Windows 10 for the steps.

Keep us posted with the progress. We'd be glad to further assist.

 

It is a X360-Controller (sorry, forgot to write that).

 

Thanks for the clarification.

For an Xbox 360 controller, the solution we recommend is to re-calibrate the device on Windows 10. To do so, kindly plug your controller into one of your computer's USB ports and then perform the following steps:

1. In Windows 10, type joy.cpl in the Search box, and then select the joy.cpl result to bring up the Game Controllers
   window.
2. In the Game Controllers window, select XNA Gamepad, and then select
   Properties.
3. Select the Settings tab, and then select Calibrate.
4. Follow the steps in the Device Calibration Wizard. Important:
   When you're prompted to use the directional pad (D-pad), use the left stick instead. If you use the D-pad, the left stick configuration may be incorrect.
5. To save the new calibration settings, select Finish, and then select
   Apply.
6. Test the operation of the controller. If you're satisfied with the new settings, select
   OK, and then select OK again.

Let us know how it goes after performing these steps. We'd be glad to provide you additional assistance.
